Bandai 1/72 First Order TIE Fighter

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Bandai 1/72 First Order TIE Fighter

Post by Ernie »

I finished this one up, came out ok, mostly happy with it. I used a couple shades of black on the body but the wings mostly obscure the effect. Also used Tamiya's Clear Red to tint the nose and hatch windows. The highlights on the base might seem rather “bright” but I wanted to offset the expanse of black on the body

Looks really good!!

Very clever idea using the red tint to simulate the interior lighting, it's worked very well!!
