how i made a Revell level1 xwing look good

[thebeans]

Hey all a few weeks ago i bought a Revell level 1 Poe Dameron Xwing for just 10 euros (because i don't think it worth a cent more).
The BB8 is way over scaled for the model,the ship is supposed to be 1/78 scale and there is NO pilot figure included, i recon the BB8 is more like 1/48
anyway it's a kids model kit designed to get children interested in model making....fair enough i guess , so after lots and lots of masking ive finally got it to look like a
good model , hope you all agree
I took some outdoors shots of it this morning and edited out just the brass mounting rod

Looks great!

I have to say that your pics confirm that to me, this design looks better with closed wings

also...bird for scale...

Best not suck that bird into the intakes.

Some very cool shots. Love to see what you could do with the Level 2 version

Thanks man , thinking id prefer to do the Bandai one first. Wouldn't mind if they released a 1/48 moving edition too.

lmfao @ the bird...it looks like it's some alien creature chasing it though the sky. also you shoulda popped on some engine glow from the rear, it wouldve looked pretty boss. But I liked it and have been thinkin about picking up a bandai kit, just can't decide on which...I really want the Falcon, but 400$ for a kit is a bit too much for me lol.
