2 down several more to go.

Basic rundown-

Vallejo grey primer mixed with black primer for a darker grey.
Vallejo grey/white base.
Controlled wash in certain areas with aged white.
Weathering with pastels and brush.

Final coat- Vellejo polyurethane satin with a few drops of grey-white to pull back the colors.

Well done! I haven't built my Bandai 1/72 yet - but I did finish the Revell 1/29 as the first kit I've lit.

Decals.
The cockpit side control panels, Lukes helmet logos, and the tiny rectangular markings on the wings and body were done with decals.

That's a real masterpiece. You really nailed every single coloured panel, streak and blast mark. It may be the most accurate Red 5 I've ever seen.

Wow! Really nice job. Those things are really small, so I'm very impressed by the detail. Now for God's sake, throw a little paint on the base.

Very nice. I particularly like the subtle yellow. Most x-wing models have the yellow too stark and obvious for my taste.

I meant to ask anyone who may know-

Is there a clear pic of the panel marking just behind/next the cockpit on the starboard side?

I was able yo figure out the shape based in one screencap from the film, and the top view of one reference images definitely shows red mixed in there with some dark grey and spots of yellow.
But the actual pattern of these colors isnt quote clear.
