I have been trying to print this set of Bomber files all week and I finally got what I think are some good prints. Search for NerdMakerEngineer on cgtrader if you want to get a copy of the files. This will be a combination of Resin and PLA prints.
I am not going to go super crazy on this version of the 1/48 Bomber, there will not be any cockpit and I will probably not even print the back. My plan is for this to be a fast one weekend build so we will see how that goes. I do plan to scale up these files to 1/34 or 1/24 and do full lights including the cockpit. This build will mostly be about testing some paint colors and a few weathering techniques which will focus on what the Archive X paints will hold up to.
Here are the three paints I am testing, I know some have used these for TIE builds so I thought I would put it here as a comparison. I used the pictured Satin Slate Blue on my 1/24 TIE Interceptor. I will get a picture of all three colors next to each other. I think the Slate Blue is a closer match to the Stormy Sea as it has just a bit more blue to it.
Here is the TS-32 Haze Grey next to the Archive-X Stormy Sea. Archive X is on the top, and the Haze Grey is on the bottom. In person, the contract is not so stark. The Haze does have less blue in it, but not as much as the picture might suggest. Archive-X of course looks spot on
