Simply fantastic! I've never been a huge b-wing fan until I saw these images. You nailed it! All Archive-X?

Thanks Kokkari

Well, when it came to starting the painting, Guy was away in Japan or somewhere,....I couldn't wait till he came back, so I ordered Tamiya AS20,....I'd used Archive X on a DeAgo Falcon & it was beautifully smooth & a dream to airbrush,....so using the AS20 rattle can was a horrible experience,...splattery, thick & very slow to dry.....I then mixed my own colour for the blue/grey areas with Vallejo acrylics.....still couldn't get it right,...too dark,....but pretty quickly I got the proper stuff from Guy......then things began to get better for me

Looks great! I've wanted one or two of his kits, but have not received any responses back. I am jealous of your kit and your skills!
 
John,
OUTSTANDING workmanship, painting and finish work!!! Perfect execution of subtlety and great color coordination! Very accurate looking to the filming miniature! Great job and great pics!! Thanks for sharing such awesome work!
Sean
 
Beautiful work. I have one of these kits and am looking forward to getting started.

I see you've drilled out the wing joints - what are you going to use for the hinge mechanism to maintain the friction for the wing positions?

Lovely paint job man. Really nice what you did with those paints. Hats off!

Thanks Marvin, as I said earlier,....the painting didn't start out right.....it was a bit of a sweat

Contact Steve on FB.....I think thats the best way to go

Thanks Sean,....thats a great compliment knowing your high level of work

Thanks mate....it's coming together

Yes Graham,...I drilled out the joints using a 6mm drill,....pretty scary,....but luckily no fractures,....I bought some 6mm copper tube & a 4mm brass rod that fits inside the tube....to tighten, I bought 3mm allen grub screws, to go through the copper & grab the brass

So 3 grub screws on each wing.....I'll take some more pics soon

Thanks guys

John
 
I've done some more on the B-Wing.....Decals etc

Beautiful work!!!

I REALLLY want to build a B-wing!!!!! Does he still make these kits?

I got mine from Nice-N models a few months ago. You can message Steve at https://www.facebook.com/nicenmodeldesigns/

Just so you know... it's fixed wing, and also fixed cockpit. Jaitea above was very brave to add hinges to the wings. I plan to make my cockpit rotate, and to do that I need to scratch build the flat part of the Flakpanzer Gepard tank track ring.

Yes indeed,....I made a cast of the pattern, then cut out a section to continue he pattern

Looks wonderful!

Wing hinges were terrifying to drill - your grub screw idea is great! I 3d printed a cockpit mechanism that Docmani designed... it's a challenge to put lights in to the cockpit, and to get it to rotate!
 
Ace job on that build and paint:cool

Thanks very much joberg

Thanks Jason,....yep terrifying.....scared that something would snap....but I did it slowly by hand,....I wouldn't trust a powered drill
