1/48 Fine Molds X-Wing

I have been a fan of Star Wars since I have first watched “A New Hope” in 1980 at a cinema nearby.  I was only six that time and I can clearly say that this movie changed my life.  I can never forget the magic we all felt that day.

When I first heard about Fine Molds’ 1/48 X-Wing, I knew that it would be the ultimate X-Wing. Yes, the model is a snap-kit, but it is very well engineered and for the first time in my life I can say that a snap-kit also has some advantages.

I have painted the model with Mr. Color paints and used minimal decals. Different shaded panels and red color stripes are all hand painted. Weathering is the key to X-Wing, so I used various different weathering techniques on the model.

This is my first Fine Molds X-Wing and also my first article on ARC.  I hope you enjoy my work.

Cheers,

Murat
