Diego Quijano Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 One of the most interesting ships in the new SW trilogy, in my opinion. Hope you like it. Some more pics here: Scaleworks Cheers. Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonb13 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Excellent looking model! It's good to see that a Snap-Kit can be finished to such a high standard... Just one quick question. In the last picture, do you know what the multiple yellow 'propeller' shapes are meant to be? They look a lot like 'Kill' badges, but I can't imagine a Jedi keeping notches on his belt? Or am I thinking about this far too much? J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 They are indeed kill markings; the propeller shapes represent the droid Tri-Fighter (also kitted by Revell), and I can't remember what the other shape represents. It's a long time since I fought in the Clone Wars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Falcon Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 The other markings could be Vulture droids possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Quijano Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Thank you very much, people. Looks very nice...how big is it? It´s about 8"/20 cm long. Excellent looking model!

I also think that they are Vulture droids kill markings, although the shape is not too acurate. Edited April 12, 2011 by Diego Quijano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Falcon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I did mean to say that it was very nicely done, remiss of me. I've not long finished Anakin's version and would like to know how to weather it. The only issues I had with my specific model was one of the wings didn't fit well into the fuselage so a wee bit of filing down was in order and I sealed the canopy as the fit was a bit loose. It's a nice looking fighter though and one of the best looking of the Jedi fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbuna Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 At 8"....that is even more kudos to the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Falcon Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 They're not very long fighters, but the wingspan is a fair size, the ARC-170 even more so. In this range I've got one of the Gunships to do as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimmerian Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Obi-Wan ... has taught you well. Indeed you are powerful as the emperor has forseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimmerian Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 seriously though - real nice - I had one of these on the bench for ages and abandoned it as I just couldnt get the canopy to fit very well. Maybe it was just my kit. Bought another one though, its in the whack stack how did you paint the figure - the vinyl doesnt seem to take paint too well.

Read this and check the last picture: link. The figure is painted with Vallejo acrylics. Cheers. Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Falcon Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 It sounds like quite a few of us have had issues with the cockpit. I found it very loose and liable to 'shoogle' around a bit to use an old Scots slang word, hence why I glued it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
