Bandai's 1/72 X-Wing Blue Leader

Super quick 1-hr build know it was getting the minimalist paint treatment: white primer, insignia white base coat. No detail painting at all. Markings are custom decals mixed with tiny bits of scraps. I scoured over the refs for this one to replicate the weathering using Tamiya and MiG pigments along with a colored pencil. The base just got a dark MiG wash.

I was impressed and then I saw the size of the thing and I'm even more impressed at the detail you got on a model that small. Bravo

ah I meant the actual assembly took 1 hour. Weathering and decals took a few days on and off.
