One of the most interesting airbrush videos I've ever seen. I particularly like the way you call out the paint mixes and airbrush configurations along the way, particularly useful if you want to have a go at copying the shading effects.

That different colored door panel is actually quite authentic to Star Wars and even in reality. Perhaps it was damaged or destroyed in battle and was replaced with a newer one which might be a different color and wouldn’t have the wear and tear as the rest of the ship.

An excellent use for a meh kit. I've actually thought about doing something similar with an old FineMolds X-wing I have in the closet. Always been a fan of custom color schemes. But goodness, that kit makes me extra grateful that we have Bandai now.

Cheap is good. I often go that route myself since I'm on a fixed income. And scratchbuilding is quickly becoming my favorite part of modelling. But I can heartily recommend Bandai's SW kits. Between the level of detail and parts fit they're an absolute joy to build. And best of all (to me at least) they come in standard scales.

Brilliant inspirational work as always 👏 👍...

The four big cannons on the X-wing make me think of a late-war WWII fighter with four 20mm cannon like the Typhoon or Tempest (though, looking it up, I see that some Hurricanes did have that armament).
