That's a cool little fella. I love those Bandai kits.

Nice build! 

Im interested in the colour, is that a silver? 

I was never sure on the colour of the film models but always curious.

Cheers,

Josh

Nice job!

Thats come out very well. I built the Striker a while back, my first Bandai kit. I quite liked it but i don't think they are as nice as the hype suggests. I much prefer Fine Molds kits.

Okay, you see it too. I cannot say a bad thing about the buildability of the Bandai kits; well engineered model kits, but the Fine Molds kits are superb model kits.

 

Thanks, Modelcrazy, Keavdog

I used the black basing technique on this, and for the grey colors I used Vallejo Model Air Ocean Grey and Aggressor Grey.  I mixed up oil wash in a dark "oily black" using black, burnt umber and grey oil paints, and gave it a flat coat when the oil washes dried.

while I like the Star War, I'm not really into modeling it super hardcore.  I received this kit and and X-Wing a few years back as a christmas gift, and hadnt had the impetus to build it until now.  The kits do go together nicely, but, so do my daughter's Pokemon kits.....

I've loved Star Wars kits since I ran across a handful of them in a clearance bin at the local JC Penney's in the late 1970s. Crumpled MPC boxes of R2-D2, Luke's X-Wing, C3PO, and Vader's TIE. Even as a young teenager, they were not quality model kits, but it was the subject that interested me. I'm not concerned with "accuracy" of the actual ships, but the quality of these models has increased greatly since the prequels in 2000.

Oh wow, you did a great job on her!!!

I built this old fella a few years ago...quite possibly my favorite tech from the series!

It is the old MPC/ERTL boxing of the Speeder Bike from ROTJ:
