[nicholassagan]

Oh yeah that's right they molded the wings in black! Are you planning on painting them or just matte coating them?

Probably paint them. There are mold marks and one has a scratch on it in a bad spot....

This looks like a pretty nice kit!

I got them from the starshipmodeler store. That was four years ago and now they are out of print. So they might be hard to find. They do have an evil minion in the store.

Bandi makes them, and they are in the Gundam series. I did a google search for Bearguy and found it. This one came from Hobbywave.

Up next is the planing stage. What am I going to do to light up the interior.

 

[Quaralane]

Looks like it will be a good project.
Lighting may be tight, but I think you can do it

 

[Junkie]

Stash equilibrium...ha. Great sprue view.

 

[arohk]

[The Chaos]

Cool, I love this Imperial fighter.

The AMT kit goes together really well. But I cannot comment on the details, I wasn't the one who built it. Just helped out when someone got stuck.

Here are a few photos of the work so far, small little tiny photo etch parts!
