It's additional work but those brass rods makes you less worried about bending or breaking those cannonsI've been thinking of replacing the laser cannons on my 1/48 FM kit too.

Little more work and I did the base paint on the 1/48 moving edition as well. Torn if I want to weather them as I like the high contrast look right now.

I agree. No such thing as a clean X-Wing. The weathering really adds to the presentation.Looks like you go tall the key markings.
One thing I might suggest now is blending it all with weathering. To me that is what really sells it. The high contrast clean look tends to make it toy like in my opinion. You don;t have to go nuts, build up in layers. Don't add to much at a time
My red 5 was dirtyyyyyyI agree. No such thing as a clean X-Wing. The weathering really adds to the presentation.

Washes are still a good idea to get shadow in areas and suggest more depth. I don't even consider it weathering, just part of the standard paint and finish.Can you guys suggest what steps to take next. I have weathered stuff before but I would like to take a more systematic approach to these then. Layers etc.
I just dont want to start dumping washes over it etc I guess is what I mean. I want to take a more professional approach if that makes sense. Here is my Ywing
