Hi,
Here is my build of the Bandai 1/48 Snowspeeder from The Empire Strikes Back.
Its painted in Tamiya and Vallejo Acrylics with oil washes a bit of hairspray and a lot of scratch through technique.
I've not built a Star Wars model before nor a Sci-Fi kit but the Bandai kits are very very good and reward a klutz like myself.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Gadfly...

Wow - that looks good that (is there no glazing?) and the weathering looks spot on - nice work GF.

Thanks for the kind words.
There is no glazing in my version the original filming models were also glazing free. You get at least 3 options canopy wise with the Bandai kit

A great build GF, very convincing weathering I must say.
