glen davis Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Got this kit from ebay a reall bargin paid £7.00 including postage for it. I build star wars kits for my 5 year old son who is mad on star wars and his cieking is covered in star fighters now mainly revell easy kits which he puts together himself. This model is unusaul being a combination of plastic parts some pre paint and die cast pre painted parts. I am undecided was to weather re paint the model or not will decide later when the I've seen how the kit goes together I am starting with the pilot luckily qafter a rumamge through the kids toy box i found a pilot to copy. base coat complete Once dry i decide to if i could breath a bit more life into him so gave him some washes and hi lights For the pilot i use GW paints and washes Next I tackled the cockpit and after liostening to a 5 year old expert and watch the film serveral time I got a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
