Here is my go at the Bandai 1:72 X-Wing kit. I won`t go on to much as comments i have made for my previous
Bandai Star Wars models on here all apply to this model. One thing i would recommend would be to search &
download for an english version of the instructions. Its very easy (especially with the S-foils) to get muddled.
rob_van_riel (hi Rob) posted a very nice rendition on here and was concerned he may have gone to far with his weathering
which just goes to show how personnel views are as mine is caked in the stuff compared to his.
Oh one thing, ignore the large gap under the canopy, forget to push it down before i took these pics.

That looks superb and really works well with the black background too!
The weathering certainly doesn't look excessive. I really need to get mine out of the stash and get it built!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That is well done and well photographed !
As much as I love the movies, I have avoided the models, but your builds ... well, I feel a strange disturbance in the force

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Excellent work Mylo. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars but that is a great piece of modelling.

Re: Completed Bandai X-wing
Nice in 1/72nd. It would go nicely in a display with aircraft.
So many models, so little time.
Re: Completed Bandai X-wing
Which gets me thinking, how about a Boulton & paul defiant painted in rebel markings & a Astromech in the back replacing the gun turret?
Re: Completed Bandai X-wing
Looking great! I actually am a massive fan of Star Wars and seeing your builds is getting me itching to build one...
