Steve Coombs Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I am much obliged to Tim K on these forums, whose WW1 RAF X-Wing gave me some inspiration for a bit of whimsy over the festive period. I had a Revell D.VII that I realistically was never going to build, and got my hands on a Bandai/Revell X-Wing for a good price The craft carries the markings of Rudolf Berthold, who commanded Jasta 15 for a while. Markings from the Revell kit, underwing/attack foil lozenge from Almark (decades old, but fit for purpose) I replaced the lasers with Spandaus from Master Model. 1/48th, but they look the part. Annoyingly, I lost a muzzle to the carpet monster, so none of the guns have them. The R2 unit has a very special Pickelhaube, though! The base was too austere for my liking, so was tarted up with Stirland Mud from Games Workshop and Battlefield Grass from Army Painter. I have been led a merry chase with photo hosting services, so fingers crossed this works: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrzeM Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Great model, but for Imperial German schemes the TIE fighter would be more appropriate 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
