    The more I watch this video the more I want to order this Falcon & an air brush kit & attemp this build & paint. I've been wanting a Falcon to display for a while but some kits are so expensive but this Bandai kit looks really cool.

    L. Hanson Go for it! Get a cheap revell plastic kit to test your airbrush technique on and have at it! Also some clippers for the little fiddly bits.

    Superb build. I'm always fascinated to see how people do weathering and panel lines etc. The wash did a great job. I might use this for my own kit. My only negative on this kit is that it didn't come with the LED lighting kit that's available for it. I mean seriously 2 or 3 LED's and a battery holder really doesn't cost much these days. I've seen the lighting kit available for the insane price of $50+. I think I'll make my own to suit. Many thanks for the build, I really enjoyed watching it.

    Amazing build. I know this video is 4 years old but i got a question regarding the decals. I saw that after you where done painting you went straight to decals. Did you coat the surface with clear before the decals or you went straight to it without clear? Do the decals move freely without a smooth surface?
