my old x-wing

One of the Best Red 5's i've seen! Great Build. Good job with the weathering too..

You could of painted the Starwars logo on the stand though. Gotta love those Blast marks!

Very nice! Maybe I'll do mine after the viper I'm working on!

Terry here,

nice one, I really needed to see one of these built to this standard. A really excellent finish, got 2 of them myself, if you dont mind I'm going to save those images for  my pile of reference stuff.

were those the kits weathered decals, I had to ask as I was afraid of what they would look like on the kit, but I know that finemolds have a world wide reputation for their decals.

Good work and thanks for sharing this little gem.

Regards,

Terry.

thanks for the comments.

luis:  thanks.  i was going to drybrush the star wars logo but decided to keep it subtle.  or put it off and forgot about it, whichever.

terry:  wow, that's the most positive response i've ever gotten for something like this.  you can of course use the pictures but i'd like to point out that the model isn't wholy correct.  the blasters on one side are swapped.  the model got broken and i mixed them up during repair.  you can tell which side it is because one of the blasters isn't oriented properly.  one of the spirals should be on the high blaster and the other on the low.  and the decals were just fine although i didn't use the very tiny ones (just made the little black marks with a drafting pen).

Nice work....wonderful weathering.... keep it up!
