X Wing Red 5 (Salzo V4)

[merseajohn]

Hey guys long time lurker and first time poster, I'm kinda new to the studio scale size of SW Models (though I've built a ton of smaller scale stuff) and so far I have three under my belt (Tie Bomber, B Wing and this Red 5). I hope you like it, it has leds in the engines FO in the cockpit and a metal armature inside. My client wanted me to represent every detail, usually I like to bend the rules slightly and add my own techniques and some artistic licence but with this the paint job had to be as accurate as I could get. Thanks for looking!

Great job! Love Red 5! Is it me or is there a bunch of posts that got deleted from this thread? Maybe I'm getting my threads confused but could of sworn there were others and I don't believe they were negative. Weird!
