A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
Red 2 X-wing model in 1/72 scale from Bandai - Part 2
With all my reference material assembled, I started by base-coating each sub-assembly with a light navy-grey, and then each a zenithal using an off-white to get initial subtle shadows and highlights. Next I focused on the cockpit interior, Wedge Antilles and the upper front of the fuselage:
Next I painted the cockpit canopy, R2A3 and the droid strip on the fuselage behind the Astromech:
After that, I started painting the s-foils and engines – by far the most demanding part of the model because of all the detail and large surfaces:
While the progress-images of the paint job are a bit over-exposed and thus the colours a bit exaggerated, you get a good impression of how the model will ultimately turn out. Once I was done with the S-foils and engines, work progressed much faster and the model was soon done. In part 3, you can enjoy lots of images of the finished model.
Nice paintjob. I still have some SW model kits waiting to be done… but I don’t want to do them with brushes… so still waiting for the day I get an airbrush
Thank you! Apart from base-coating and applying a zenithal, I actually painted the model exclusively using brushes. 😀
Well… maybe I’ll give them a go, when FFG stops pumping out Legion models… there’s a AT-ST waiting, a TIE Fighter experimental and an older Slave 1 XD
