Just finished these two - bit of a rush for a show tomorrow so had to forego the heavy weathering on Red 5, but pleased with how they came out. insane amount of detail on these things. All markings painted, not stickers.

Thanks - still bummed by the molding flaws in the TIE panels though.

Just finished Vader and his other co-wingman. Masking the Vader panels was by far the most fiddly job in this build!

Did you paint the panels?

Mine came with some molding flawson the panels but once I painted it they were gone.

Great work BTW

Actually, after looking at it, those panel flaws on your models look good.
Looks like some type of weathering.

Yeah the panels were painted, but the flaws persist - they are definitely physical rather than just plastic swirls.

These are the pocket model version - the tiny ones...

Ah ok.
Thought they were the larger ones.

For what its worth the imperfections look like distress and damage, so it still looks good.
