I'm tackling my first Bandai ship kit, the Rogue One X-wing Special set with 1/72 & 1/144 ships, and was curious if the plastic out of the box will look sufficient or if I should actually paint the hull/wings.
I plan on using the waterslide decals, accenting panel lines, and weathering with Tamiya weather master kits (and the usual methods). From what I've seen online I think it'll look ok without painting the ship, but was hoping for some expert advice if anyone has time to offer a little input.
Of course I plan on doing paint work, but didn't know if I should lay down a base coat on the entire hull (hope this makes sense...lol).
Thanks.
Edit: I just found Moose84's thread on this very topic which will help lots. Sorry I started this thread, did a search and somehow missed it.
