Tie Fighter – Star Wars – Bandai 1/72

As I’m participating in a sci-fi group build where I recently have finished the Ork Dakkajet, I decided to try to finish one more kit before the end of the group build.
So in order to make it somewhat easy I decided to build a Bandai Tie Fighter,

Starting with the cockpit and mid section.

The instructions for what colours to use a pretty brief. I asked around a bit and got some advice.
The solar panels was painted flat black.

Hard to tell perhaps, but the black plastic is a bit more shiny.

I painted the interior in neutral grey and then mixed a lighter colour for the exterior parts.
That colour was also used on the panels inside the cockpit.

There are some details to paint in the cockpit and on the pilot. Then I can start assemble it.

Ork Dakkajet – part 2

Building up the yellow with brighter yellow colours.

The pilot got some paint.

Working a bit with the loadout and giving the rockets and bombs some colour.

Gradually adding even brighter yellow.

Unmasked with the pilot dry fitted.

I painted some details in metal and put the plane on the stand.

A little progress with the rockets and other small parts.

More details painted and some dry fitting.

The pilot got seated! 🙂

Next will be additional painting and touching up and adding the missing parts.

Orks Dakkajet – Warhammer 40k

I started this build a while ago and haven’t been able to make any post about it.

It all started with preparing and assembling parts.

I painted a spiral pattern on the nose cone.

The interior parts got some interior green.

With the nose cone painted, I could assemble the fuselage.

The wings went on and some parts was dry fitted.

There was three different hatches for the wing. I choose the one which gave the plane one extra gun on each side.

Then some parts got some metal paint.

The parts for the pilot was primed.

The nose and metal painted parts was masked.

Grey zenithal primer on the pilot.

Then finally some paint on the plane.

Next more paint!
