AMT A-Wing....Complete

Again, awesome work! 

But that's what so fun about the SW universe... you can paint it about any kind of color or with any markings you want.  It nice to see a well made red A-Wing, but it's more fun to see the variations people come up with.

Nice build!

Sorry Guy's ALL A-Wings had RED markings the Pilots wear Green Flight Suits.

Any other color is expanded universe and toys. 

Also they are only used in Jedi same as the B-Wing, Imp Shuttle and TIE Interceptor. 

Nice build up by the way, nice to see something besides the red.

I did one years ago matching the Silver and Blue McQuarrie painting.

Really beautiful A-wing there Sir. Looks great on that base.

sweet looking a-wing. Nice to see some people still building them.  i always thought amt got the scale wrong on this kit, the return of the jedi box art showed the pilot was quite large in the cockpit, so i replaced the 1/72 pilot with a 1/48 figure. looks much better.

NP.

I can just see some of the friends of someone who was part of the bridge crew, "I wonder what the last thing to go through his head was." "An A-wing I think."

my bad.... didnt read your post all the way through.....

still a nice looking kit.

C'mon Smeagol... you know that every now and them a good pilot scratch its vulture... sorry officer I really didn't see the asteroid... or what are you going to fine me what about the stupid in the tie fighter that came from behind... Or even sorry chief I didn't have the reflex to aboit the pieces from that blasted imperial ship.... I'm not talking about a huge battle damage but some scratch here and there... nothing a good insurance company would refuse....jejejeje

Very nice kit... I'm looking to do one myself...  Just one little comment (I hate being that kind of modeler) but I suggest some blaster hits in your next model because the rebel alliance maintenance guys doesn't have time to fix and repair the ships hull due to their lack of time and spare parts. This would bring some life to the starship...   Greetings Antonio

to go off of what Antonio said, if the weathering on the dark green isnt complete enough for you- might I concider going back and painting on some light colored base over top of the green? Like some kind of paint chip effect perhaps?

Looks really nice though- I'm pretty sure the A-Wing that got shot down and crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer in Return of the Jedi was green... but I havent seen it in a while so I could easily be wrong?

I forever which squad it was, but one of the Wings used green drab for their paint scheme.

Its a nice looking kit, though, that A-wing would leave that tie-fighter in the dust
