Paint quality dropping?

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

Just a quick question to those that have complained about paint quality.. were these issues from gifts? Because if not, the packaging is transparent, and you can look at most of the ship before purchase, barring the underside, of course.

I just got one, and had to take a photo comparison. The difference was startling. Old one on the left, new on the right.

At least it grew chin lasers. Those are strangely lacking from my Kwings as well

Heres my new vs old. Obviously the new one has had much less wash applied. I would say my old one has too much wash though. Overall I think the detail paintwork on the new K-wing is a bit tighter.

Separate from the K-wing, the paint quality of X-wing releases is increasing in general, in my opinion.

My K-Wings are all missing all their lasers - I let an 8-year-old play with them. :P
