I am in the midst of two weeks of vacation time I had to use or lose so I killed one of the days by building the supposed scaled 1/48 TIE fighter. I wasnt shooting for any particular version, just a generic fighter.
I purchased this photo etched set from Acreation.
I painted it in haze gray and sonofagun if it doesn't look like different colors in different lighting.
It turned out reasonably well considering its size. However, I just cannot work decals that fracking small and I really had problems with the size of the Acreations pieces too. So much so I used only exterior pieces and left the cockpit stock. Even this close to it you cannot see much anyway.
I really need to build only larger models.
I had pulled out the 1/48 snowspeeder to start today but I don't think I want to build it. I'll find something larger.
