This is my Revell TLJ A-Wing. I'm painting it in the spirit of the McQuarrie concept art A-Wing. I decided to leave the lights in as I think they look good. Still need to give it a good weathering. Mods I made are:
1) removed and covered the landing gear
2) filled in the voids on the underside of the blasters
3) drilled out the blaster tips
4) added styrene to the middle tubes to giv them a nice rounded inner surface
5) full repaint
I think it is a nice kit, with some good detailing, that will fit pretty well with other 1/48 subjects. Though, it is a shame that Revell didn't just make it 1/48 instead of the ridiculous 1/44. I plane on picking up the Red version when it is released. I think I actually like the more slender look to the new A-Wing to the earlier chunky RotJ and Rebels A-Wing variants.
