BanDai 1/72 B-Wing Update 2 (Final)

Sorry for the lack of in-progress photos on this build. I got had a lot of starts and stops and forgot to take more. Anyway, the weathering is done. I used some gray panel line enhancer on the wings and some areas on the main fuselage. Then I used some black wash to dirty things up a bit.
