Bandai 1/72 A-Wing Green Leader


Recommended Posts

Finally I have finished one of my favourite starfighters. Here is the WIP-thread:

My goal is always to be as close as I can to the studio model, what is not always easy because this 1/72 model is so much smaller.

I hope you like it.

Thanks.

Lovely work! Finish and weathering look spot on.

 

The first and last shot really shows the basis in the F-14 bits used for the studio models...

 

Cheers,

Thanks.

I am not exactly sure which parts you are refering to, but I see some resemblance. That must have been some big scale F-14 because the studio model is really huge.

Beautiful A-Wing. You've really captured the look of the studio model.

Thanks a lot, Andy.

Are you planning to do more Star Wars or other sci-fi models? I absolutely love your work.

Just compare the main body of the A-wing with the intakes and glove sections of an F-14. The slits for the glove vanes are there as well.

 

Oh, and the main central exhausts are F-16 intakes. 😀

Very nice! That Primer Red colour just shouts 'Star Wars'.

Thanks. I think the red is very important on this one. This is arguably the most colourful starfighter of the original trilogy, so this had to be right.

Now I can´t unsee the F-16 engine intakes. I thought it reminded me of something, but I wasn´t sure of what...

So the original Death Star would be over a kilometre in diameter in 1/72nd scale. I want one! Now where am I going to put it...

I would be happy with a 1/144 version. Yes, I know. I am easy to please. 🙂

Thanks, I've got a part-painted protocol droid that's waiting to get finished, and I'll probably be building the Super Star Destroyer when it comes out. After that, I'll be waiting to see if Bandai release anything new for ep9, but given their recent performance, I'm not expecting much.

Aren't you hiding a U-Wing somewhere? 😏

I am desperately waiting for a 1/72 TIE Bomber. I had high hopes after the B-Wing announcement, but it goes down every new month. After that they got everything I could ask for. I would pause every other work for that one.

 

Maybe they are making some more cruisers. A Nebulon B or Calamaris would be nice, but I am not sure if I would buy and build them. If they are a part of the vehicle-series and too small I am not interested.

You know, I'd completely forgotten about that. Yes, I've got the 1/144 U-Wing and the two Imperial tanks (one of which is almost finished), and I've also got the little 1/350 Falcon that came with the Tantive.

Actually, now I come to think, I've also got the box scale Snowspeeder and AT-ST as well. Hopefully all of them will get finished sometime this year.

I'm sure we'll get one eventually. Maybe next year, when they've got the Ep9 stuff out of the way.
