TristanR Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I painted this according to reference photos of the first x-wing model ILM made for starwars. This was blue leader. Apparently, they changed blue squadron to red squadron because of the use of blue screens. So blue leader was re-painted as red 3, you can tell because of the distinctive replacement panel on the port upper engine. Yes that is a slice of the tamiya logo. Painted Ed in tamiya acrylics, weathered with lifecolor washes. I try to avoid using clear oats whenever possible. Build thread here - Edited December 11, 2020 by TristanR I forgot to add the build thread. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
