This is the way

I considered this, or the Razorcrest, as exercises in silver, but you've beaten me to this one at least!

BTW Revell are issuing a Scout and Speeder bike this year, with Grogu in a bag option!

Great to see you jumping in Simon, looking forward to seeing you get this together :thumb2:

Well this looks interesting plenty of options for lighting this up me thinks, so it could go south rapidly :thinking:
put some bits together to gauge the overall size and spaces for wires and bulbs or strips.
shell, port engine & bottom engine off to look at LEDS and wiring back soon maybe!,

A cracking start.

Progress report not much sorry port and starboard motors, i have worked out a system for the leds it a bit tight in the wing tips but i think i can ream channels out and squeeze them in, while trying to process i have had to come up with a new build sequence so far it seems to be working and slowly coming together, what i have trialed fits really well she should be a nice build
made these moulds for the lighting im planning Going to cut away the bottom of each part and pour in clear resin and at the same time drop in some leds 2 for 3rd motor 4 each for P & S.
top and bottom of canopy and associated parts need to paint these before assemble, other wise this will be a real nightmare to mask
more when i can.

So, how many different shades of silver/metal/shiny can you use?
