Hey Guys,

i started this lovely kit that i had for a few years on my shelves. It´s a pretty nice kit. I guess Moe did the Master and Frank casted this birdy. Here are some pics:

Wait - what is that other thing lingering in the background, with a catamaran-like u-boat vibe?!

Time for new pics. I closed the channel with the wires with Aves and sanded it smooth. Then i rescribed the original Panellines.

Primer!

Black

Rebel White

added some darkgrey tinted acylic glass to the canopy. That looks bad azz. I love it!

and i painted the female Pilot. Isn´t she cute?

Is that based on a franchise or is it your own design? Looking very interesting!

Thanks! It´s my own design. I played around with my Son´s lil Revell Submarine and always thought "damn! Turn it around and it´s a space ship"

I like this take on the E-Wing way better than the official design (which the FFG game model is made as). The big canopy cannon on the "real" one is stupid looking, but this version is so much better proportioned!

Same here. The original design had a long laser cannon over the canopy so it always bugged me. I like the cannon on this one much better.

Here we go! Started to paint the markings and different colored panels.

and painted the chipping effect on. I can really recommend that Tamiya Brush. Perfect for fine details!

Then i used Spongebob to do some irregular chips with the basecolor.

Then MIG Light Rust. Sorry i haven´t taken pics while i did the washing with MIG Dark Wash.

I ordered a few years ago 3 sheets of decals that was offered by Jason Eaton for studio scale Models . The Quality of the decals is awesome.

Sealed the decals and the paintjob with Vallejo Matte Varnish. Awesome stuff!

Here´s the "E" together with the "X"
