Hi fellow pilots!
I am quite happy to show here my first mod (and a quite heavy one) on a X-wing ship. This was my first exeprience with plasticard also, and I know I made a lot of silly mistakes (including that paneling job that I did really wrong), but I hope I learned from it for the next project !
As I never liked the Firespray as an Imperial ship, I never played it, but I like the idea of a heavy cannon bearer with rear arc. So when I got a spare Lambda Shuttle from customer service (problem with the wings), I had this idea :
why not break the defective model and make a JV-7 out of it, that I'd play as a Firespray ?
A few weeks later (I work slowly, two little kids in the house^^), here's the result.
I'm quite happy about the general look of it, but I really have to improve my horrible painting skills !

Very cool! There are a lot of tricks that you can pick up here in the painting & mod forums, take advantage!
Hopefully this won't be the last mod you do.
