Hello everyone, long time no see :(

But now I am back :)

After looking at the diverse offerings for large "ish" scale Slave 1 I have settled on the Revell one.

The build will include the paint scheme seen in the Mandalorian and accuracy mods according to the show (mainly in the cockpit).

My kit is on the way so I will start on it soon.

Dont hesitate to join me and MTFBWYA :)

Nav chairs test print went well, will show you them once assembled and painted with the pilot chair / chairs too :)

After I took a second look at what I can see of the motors I opted for a second look for it :) Printed in halves for easy instal.

Joining the two shells seamless was a pain since they had about 1mm miss alignement.

But I managed to do it and rescribed lost pannels lines, then applied the distressed base coat :

I am now way more pleased with the shade and wethering on the wing bells and will use the same method on the green area of the spine then mat varnish to blend in.
