Red 5 - Tomcat's Bandai 1/72 X-Wing

Post by Tomcat64 »

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Darth Vader was having second thoughts about one of the display teams he'd invited to the first Death Star air show...

I'm not usually into "what if" schemes but this Red Arrows X-Wing is something I've been thinking about for a little while and it was nice to be using different colours from the usual camo schemes. If you'd like to see how it came together the build thread is here

I hope you like it and thanks as always for looking :cheers2:
Cheers, Neil
