BanDai 1/72 A-Wing Starfighter Final

To complete the model, I painted the base with Tamiya Light Gray Primer. In the future I'll probably add some panel shading on the base, but for now it is fine and matches the other BanDai Star Wars models I've done lately.

It has piping details that don't seem … Continue reading BanDai 1/72 Y-Wing Build
