1/72 XJ X-Wing: Finished

Here is the last of the WIP pics of the XJ. You can see the scratch built cannons, resin cast parts for the lower cannons, and all the added styrene detail bits.

1/72 Snowspeeder: Finished


 Finally got around to finished my 1/72 scale RetroKit Snowspeeder.  Not much to say really, fantastic kit. It's got a lot of great detail, just a giant pain to get cleaned up and ready to put together. I used the standard Rouge Squadron paint job from the Battle of Hoth, and added clear plastic to the canopy for windows.  Enjoy!






Just a quick comparison shot with the old Fantastic Plastic kit. Both are said to be 1/72 scale, but I think the RetroKit Snowspeeder is closer.
