A relatively quick build of one of the newer Bandai models. I built this kit to help break myself out of a 'modeling funk' that I have been in lately. I'm not sold on the position of the craft; I tried to make it look like it was swooping in over the Death Star. This kit was actually a little more difficult to paint than the Fine Molds version, mainly because the latch-like greebles on the front and the engines on the rear were not separate pieces so I had to mask them off and the outer edge of the wing frames were six individual pieces instead of being molded to the rest of the frame. In the end, it was a pretty fun build and it got me fired up about painting again (which is good, because I have a giant stack of Star Wars models for myself and a USS Saipan (LHA-2) kit to build on commission).
