Star Wars Dogfight Double - X-Wing & TIE

[modelman182]

Hi Guys

 

Whilst working on two longer projects (Tamiya's 12th scale JPS Lotus Mk.III & Bonaparte Resin 10th scale Samurai Bust) I thought I'd have a little fun to keep the completion hunger satisfied.

 

Here's my Star Wars take on the Airfix 'Dogfight Doubles' theme:

 

 

Both are Revell's EasyFit kits and are "around" 1/120th scale. Lots of fun and kept my interest going while sanding, filling, priming, etc... on the other kits.

 

Paints are acrylics and hand painted. I couldn't be bothered with the decals so also hand painted the few markings.

 

I'll eventually get round to doing a Death Star scene type of base and mounting the kits on perspex rods. But for now, I can hold one in each hand and act out classic battles while waiting for paint to dry or filler to set... hee hee ;-)

I still hear the words even after 40 years " stay on target, stay on target" - and "the Force is strong with this one"

 

One of the most iconic dog fights in sci-fi history brought nicely back to life

 

well done - who needs decals when you have a steady hand like yours...

Thanks GS

 

Though I'm not so sure about the 'steady hand' - the port upper wing's trailing edge stripes are a little 'ropey' and the blue spirals are definitely suss! LOL! 

 

I can hear "Where the h*ll are you, Biggs?" ... 

 

Cheers
