Bandai! It’s a really nice kit, as all their Star Wars kits are.

Love the colors on this! Great combo, well applied. Just needs some dirt! 👍🏼 -
Reboxed RoG kit, OOB. The decals were actually rather nice. Academy has come a long way.

I was gonna ask if you modified the wing root to lessen the bugles, since the engine is indeed less powerful and needs less air. But I see you only reshaped the exhaust. 👍🏼

Hi! Well, I’ve worked out a system with Tomcats. I preshade as usual, it I add random, quick sprays of black all over the surfaces. The wings, fuselage, tails, everywhere. Then I basecoat, and then I postshade with a lighter shade of the basecoat. For this one, the color is FS36440 light gull gray. So I add a few drops of FS36495 light gray and I post shade along the panel lines where corrosion control would have sprayed. Then I decal, wash, and add the first Dullcote. I then weather with my Tamiya weathering sets. I pick panels to lighten, or darken. For the wings, I sweep them back, mask off where they touch the fuse, and then rub those areas. For the streaks it’s easy. Just put the swab next to the fuse joint, press down and open up the wings. Presto! Instant curves streaks. then I sea it all with another Dullcote. hope that helps!

Tam kit, Fightertown decals, Wolfpack resin seats. Way too late into the build did I realize I forgot the ECM blisters on the wing glove. Doh!

None that stand out. It really was a delight to build! -
OOB, DXM Decals. This kit is fantastic! Comes with all the parts to build an A,B or D! Both engines, both seats, both RIO cockpits, four chin pods, and three main wheel hubs. Academy did good here.

Dirty Artoo. 1/12 Bandai R2-D2 on Dagobah.
Habu12 replied to Habu12's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Thanks! It’s quite easy to makes it’s just four .020” plastic card, 1-1/2” tall. I glued them to the plate that it came with, then cut some 1/4”x1/8” rods to glue into the corners. Done, son! -
