Powered by a 9v battery and two red 5mm LEDS one of these lighting up two 0.75mm FO to the front cannons. Built basically out of the box, added some details at the back of the cockpit. Finished with a mix of gray and black powdered pastels and selective washes plus dry brushing. Base color is not any paint but the original plastic color. Sealed with a matte clear coat. Only PITA was the panels and ribs fitting which needed some vast amount of clamping to achieve a clean and straight joint.

If you like you can click on any image for a full resolution version. Hope you like melted cheese!:lol
 
Looks really well done! I would...if possible.. love to see some shots without the HDR filter. It tends to both flatten things out and halo details. :/ i really like what I see, though!
 
No HDR filter in these images. The few halos seen are a side effect of a tad aggressive effort of lifting some shadows in PP after taking these images in fading daylight when I finished the electronics. I never use any HDR filters in any of my images. Thanks for the props.

There are always good builds on the rpf. Some really talented modellers.
This is, without doubt, the best tie build I've ever seen!
