Got my Raider in on Wednesday and immediately went crazy on it, tearing the thing open to add wires and trying to decide how I wanted to mod it. It's still in a WIP phase at the moment but I just had to share the bridge lights.

While the first thing I did was tearing off the TIE panel wings, which I'm not a fan of, I'm considering putting them back on as cooling fins for a pair of turbolasers.
Looking good! Really like the stripe with text. Really sharp.

Pah, all that hooey went out the window after Endor.
With all these Galaxy's-Next-Top-Admiral types wandering around, we needed our ships to stand out

That sounds like a great reality show. You know, in a post-Vader universe where the loser each week doesn't get Force-choked to death.
You so crazy... turn down them bright-ass-lights.
the text is very cool, but my first thought is... airline. or... commercial cargo ship.

Where do you come from where airliners and cargo ships have names like "Javelin" and are studded with weapon systems?
Sounds horrifying.

A place with sky pirates!
And you know that you totally answered your own question as to why those fins existed, right? That big honking engine has to generate a looooootta' heat...

Reported!
That's exactly what the rebel scum want you to think and say! Please refer to manual CC section B subsection A1 for a flowchart on who you need to report to if you need a reminder after consuming too much rebel propaganda.
I bow to your prowess, and would really wish I had an airbrush now... those are slick there ace
Painted up and mounted those turbolasers. I'm really starting to like the look of this thing.
Great job.
Freaking beautiful. I don't know what I was expecting when I read "blue stripe", but it looks way better than I was expecting.
NOW YOUR COOKING... GREAT JOB!!!
hi there!
long time lurker, now a poster - thanks to your awesome raider! 
I quite like the blue stripe and will do something similar in the near future (currently "dirtying it up").
got a question, though:
how did you get the side-panels off? my raider is glued quite heavily and I'm afraid of breaking the panels as they simply won't get off.. and I have already used some force (the brutal kind, not that sissy dark and light side stuff)
