[merseajohn]

Hey guys I thought I'd share my 1/144 Fine Molds Falcon with you that I've got going over at SMA in the group build.
It used to look like this:

But I was never happy with it, so I re sprayed it with light grey humbrol enamal:

Panels all sprayed up:

Lights!

Hidden switch and wiring

Don't know. The first paint job looked mighty fine to me. The re-do does look top bro. I did follow this over on SMA....more like lurked.

Cool to see some more Sci-fi being shown here. I used to build those types when I was a kid...over thirty years ago, but still like to see others doing them.

Thanks mate, I was happy at first with the original paint job, but the more I looked at the refrence the more I wanted to replicate the 32" studio model on the repaint.

Thanks Frank, yeah got a lotta love for fine molds kits. I've built plenty of others from Revell & AMT/MPC/ERTL etc but they don't come close to FM. I also enjoy making the rare (and usually expensive) resin kits aswell.

Nice work mate! The first paint job looked great, but the second one was greaterer...even betterer..awesome!
Finemolds do some nice stuff, I did the Tie fighter. Keep up the good work!

Cheers
