Bandai 1/72 Tie Fighter
« on: May 11, 2020, 05:45:30 pm »

Hi all thought I would start this one to go with the X Wing but again not following the box art I thought how about a chrome one (I'm sure Darth would approve)

Did you use the Aclad system to get that smooth chrome Ken? Also, that might be the steed of the chrome Storm trooper in the 7th and 8th Star wars films.

Just wondering, wouldn't the shots from the X wing being going the other way, looks like its fired from rear cannons rather than the shots going with the momentum of the fighter?  {:-{

No - the x wing (rebels) fighters shots are red and appear to be going from rear cannons into the death star exhaust port, the green imperial Tie fighters are aimed at the rebel ship
