For the past 12 months or so I have had one build on my mind, the 1/24 B wing. At last I can say this has finally begun, I have 2 kits & am awaiting some replacement parts but this wont hold me back, I was going to do both at the same time but I will do my best to get one up & running & do the other as it comes together. I've decided to start with the Orange spot version as its the least common (ref material wise). I have been through this paint job in my head so many times that I think I could do it blindfolded...well maybe not :lol
It would be great if the parts from Jeff turn up before the painting starts but it wont hold me back. I do have to say that as I took the kit out today to start the clean up that a lot of the casting is really nice, & overall pretty good. We all know about this so I'll leave it there. I'm still undecided about the display of this though, I may try & come up with a way to mount it at the engine part, don't know how but I'd love to be able to spin this 360 when finished???
As it isn't a studio scale replica, I intend to paint it slightly different to the prop, where the paint chips are just brushed on on the prop I will do them with liquid latex so hopefully it will look a little more real world rather than replica. I'll try to stick to the correct colors & the correct weathering patterns & maybe throw a few of my own in? :love
I only have till the 7th Of Jan to get this completed so its going to be a challenge, but I cant wait.
No pics today, but the way I feel I could end up doing this on Xmas day I'm that excited.
