Simple stuff.. washed the hull and did the wings..

Tie Fighter after a Tamiya Laquer Thinner bath .

Stripped!

Next is a dish soap wash followed by a coat of Tamiya light gray primer.

Be careful the wing roots are fragile.

Gotta admit, it looks a little weird when it naked.

There is no need to strip these, the original paint is a good base coat and is easily hidden in the process..

That said.. it does look weird all nakey...

Looks like a good start, the finished one looks nice.

Vallejo black for the panels. This paint flows smooth, especially with a bit of water.

I use micro mask to tape off the area for the top hatch windows. Makes a nice quick edge. After the black for windows is dry I apply a good coat of future floor to all cockpit windows.

Here it is with a coat of mr hobby gloss to seal the paint and WWII decal up before I add a black oil paint/ turpanoid wash.

I am digging that tiny decal!

Love the bases you got also. Where are those asteroids from with bases?

Thanks! The asteroids are made with the cardboard tokens as bases and painted sponge for the rocks. I've made a tutorial on my blog : http://www.rule37.net/2014/05/x-wing-attack-of-sponge-asteroids.html
