This is the 1/24 scale kit by Robert Burns Jr. I usually don't do starships, but I'm going to attempt this one. It seems to be a fairly easy build so far with just some minor puttying of the seams. I'm still looking for a death star style base for this . If anyone can help,please let me know.

Why a Deathstar surface base? The A-wings saw very little action on the surface of the second Deathstar. But one made it into the interrior with the Falcon and Gold Leader (Wedge Antilles).

How about making a base that looks like the inner corridors they flew in? This could also be used as a wall mounted base, and have the A-Wing mounted in the side instead of the bottom.

Looking forward to see the progress on this. I love the A-wing design.


Cheers

I got a lot done today, still want to tweak it and touch it up a bit, but here's where she stands so far.

Now that's a nice looking kit. Is it resin? Really clean cast. Great paint work so far..

How did you achieve the washed out brick red. What brand of paint was used?

Very nice, I like what you've done so far. :thumbsup

I have one of these in the pile, I've cut the rear open and made a battery compartment for lighting.
I'm thinking about scratching a new cockpit for it as well.

What did you use for the red?.

I used testors model master acrylic British crimson red.. Did some light fading to it by adding a bit of white to the mix, then did some weathering with black Pastel chalk to achieve the final look.
