Amazing work matey! Turned out awesome, masking those strips can be a PIA (just doing mine at mo grrrrrr! Lol) nice work!!

Masking is actually my favorite part. Cutting parts off the sprue is what kills me

Beautiful paintwork and lovely photography! The greyblue areas are especially superb, they look bang-on

Thanks!

two things I've learned here
1. prime in black
2. a light sand is the best way to start off your weathering

Does anyone know why my photos are gone?

Is it because I moved them to a sub file on photobucket?


It probably it. I WILL FIX THIS!

 

[Dobber]

That probably did it. Yes, please do fix the links. I really want to see the pictures!

Yup. Moving the files but not updating the links caused the error. I wish Photobucket had a work around for this without the user having to update EACH and EVERY link. I would love to consolidate / better organize all my photos.

 

[astroboy]

fixed the links and added a few more in the finished section

Nice extra pics,......(all the best for the BSC @ Scale Model Addict)

Re: Now that the ball is rolling...1/48 Bandai x-wing

I had that same issue, little to no images of that side. If it was of that side it's a weird angle or blurry and dark.

Does anyone have any pics of the starboard side of red 5? Very hard to come by.

Sadly, the only one I can find is in my kids' star wars abc'sView attachment 488208


I also didn't realize that they made a 4 foot version for jedi that never made it into the film. There's a great pic of it in the Lucasfilm archive book

Ozzman78 over at ScaleModelAddict has posted some very technical images,.....of all the X-Wings

These separate sources collaborate each other

Those are pretty good, but there is more paneling that they don't account for. And they do differ. Certainly the schematic is missing a fair amount. There are definitely differences in the base paneling. You can see it on this one:



But the real tricky part is the section behind the cockpit on the starboard side. I haven't found any real detail on that dark grey panel

 

[astroboy]

this is the only real picture I can find of the starboard side

 

[Dobber]

Fantastic! Such a beautiful build.

Ok I did a bit of digging

In this book, From Star Wars to Indiana Jones theres an image of Red 5 flipped:

Ps'd a bit:

[astroboy]

That is an awesome image. But I believe that is the unused 4 foot model.
