Nice paint scheme. It is original, or per instructions?

Thanks much. Paint is per the box and instruction images (I added a picture of box art). Took a swag at the colors, they turned out decently, methinks.

Album info

For something a little different than my normal 4-wheeled projects, a Resistance X-Wing Fighter, 1/72 scale from Bandai.
Bandai's plastic molding technology and capability is really high, and the molded-in details are exceptional, therefore didn't make any revisions or upgrades, rather focused on painting and weathering. Bandai makes their kits able to be built without glue or paint, with all parts molded in appropriate color, and a few small stickers where needed. That doesn't work for me, so I painted everything as I best deemed appropriate. Spent some effort on making it look as realistic as possible. Granted, it is a sci-fi ship, so "realistic" is quite relative.......
Note; the canopy wasn't glued when I took the pictures, and forgot to press it down, so it looks like it's misaligned and screwed up. It's since been glued down.
Anyhow, quite happy with the outcome.
Cheers,
Chris
