Here is a kit I've ended recently for a group build on Polish forum. Because of the rules I wasn't able to post it on any other forums before now.
Here are some Wip pictures:
Primed and pre-shaded
Masked for painting markings.
Sprayed with AK-Interactive Worn Effect.
Painted with yellow color.
Prepared for scratching
Scratched
Because this kit planed for a diorama with another X-wing I¡¦ve changed this one in to the RED 2 from A New Hope attack on the deathstar. That of course forced me to change some things. I needed to Change the markings and because the other kit was made with decals from the set I decided to paint my and for the damage on them I used AK-Interactiv¡¦s Worn Effect and Heavy Chipping fluids.
I also needed to change the engine nozzles for shorter ones and I¡¦ve repainted the droid for R2-D1 (red version). Inside the cockpit I added some hoses so it would look more like in the movie. As for the canopy I wanted it to like in the movie shots from the inside which clearly showed it was tined and for that I used Tamiya¡¦s Smoke paint. Last thing was making the damage and weathering to look as similar as in the movie which wasn¡¦t easy but I hope I¡¦ve achieved it at least in some way.
