Thanks!

My first SW subject, and only second model to complete after a fairly recent return from a 20+ year hiatus from the hobby. Thanks go out to the many modelers here who provided so much info that made it possible for me to actually put something together that came out decently, and that I got enjoyment from.

I love it.  Honestly, the little yellow stripe/marking near the wing attachment is what makes it for me, dunno why.

Thanks! One of the few decals that came with this kit...there aren't any significant markings at all.

I think thats why it stands out so much to me.  Your overall job is great, but it looks like every other tie-fighter that there has been and ever will be, because of that the yellow jumps out like a cat from the washing machine.

You do the Empire a service. Sweet build, beautiful paint work.Bow Down

I built one of these a year or so ago, and have never been able to set it aside. The FInemolds kits are wonderful, and just beg you to detail the s**t out of them...

Great job!  I'd go so far as to say it looks better than the studio models.

She took Gold again, this time at SuperCon (today). Thanks everyone for the positive feedback!

Try to ignore the fact that it's sitting upside down on the stand...everyone including me apparently did. Big Smile
