Bandai T-70 X-Wing

[robiwon]

Built this great kit over a week or so. Typical Bandai quality and fit. I opted not to use most of the blue hull markings. Since the whole ship was primered I had to repaint the blue hull stripes anyways. I only used the wing hash decals. Everything else was matched to the blue of the decals and painted by hand. I did not go heavy on the weathering opting instead to go for a cleaner, less abused, look. The base was covered in model railroad sand and glued down with diluted Elmers White craft glue. The stock ship support was replaced with clear acrylic rod.

This can out looking really good. Nice that you took it and primed and repainted.
off hand ,do you know the Dims of the kit? I want to see if I have shelf space if I purchase lol

Thanks. The ship is about 7 inches long nose to tail and just under a 6 inch wing spread.

Thanks guys. Alaneye, have fun with the build. Just watch out for the tiny, tiny laser canon tips on the silver sprue, did I mention they are tiny??

On a side note, I just got the Slave 1, AT-ST. and the 1/48 "Moving Edition" X-Wing delivered this morning from a co-worker in Japan! Thanks John!!
With those I am only waiting on the snowspeeder from another co-worker in Japan coming home the end of the month. That will complete my collection of Bandai ships! Now I need to start getting the figures.
