Red 3 Standing By - Bandai 1/72

[TheFettAR]

Hi all, I wanted to show you my the work I've made a wile back over the Bandai 1/72 X-wing kit.
I went for the Red3 in honor of the fallen hero Biggs Darklighter.
After finished, I realised comparing it with the studio model, I should hade fliped the engines panels enstead of following the instructions. But I don't really care at the end of the day. I'm happy with the result being my first model kit in more than 15 years

Wonderful Build!

I am not as well versed on the individual X-Wing markings without having to research, what do you mean about the flipped engine panels?

He means that Red 3 has a different configuration of the Saturn cans. The ‘bar’ can is on the right side on the upper wing, Red 5s is on the left side.

All of the x-wing studio models have minor differences with the Saturn cans, and Phantom engines.
