Well, the back is better and I was going spare so into the shed I went. I was good as this was made over three days, just a bit here and there and then a rest.


It is Revell's Darth Vader's Tie-Fighter, a nice big easy kit, straight out the box, no highlights or weathering, only lights fitted. I made a custom base incorporating parts from a small Tie-Fighter plus other stuff. Spray painted and then highlighted with a lighter grey, red and steel-kept to a minimum.


Enjoyed it.
