Hi Klaus

No worries,
I've finished construction of the u-wing and built the Tie striker as well, although I haven't had a chance to upload pictures yet.
The bad news is that my airbrush has stopped working so I can't paint the kits at the moment

I know what you mean. Airbrush is 80% maintanance/cleaning and 20% awesome painting.
Hope you get it up and running again soon.

Great build, Lapman. Very nice "space" weathering. Love the shine of the visor in the helmet.
Thanks for participating

Good news, i have managed to revive my old airbrush at least for the time being and have completed most of the painting of this U-Wing, all that remains is to decide which type of cockpit i plan to use and to re-install the engines.
sorry for the poor picture quality of the kit

ok, i'm calling this one done, a few pictures with and without canopy and yes there is no glass, it's meant to be like that.
in the second picture youcan make out the crew in 1/144 scale and the last picture has the canopy added

Great build, David! The weathering looks awesome. Scalewise this wing is much bigger than I realized when comparing to the crew.
Thanks for participating!

Hi mates,
I see some very nice builds here yet!
I am still waiting for the release of AMK's IAI Kfir C2/7 in 1/72. Then I'll be in, too
