Yet another Bandai Star Wars model to add to the heap! This go around, it is a 1/72 scale First Order TIE fighter as seen in The Force Awakens. It's finished in Alclad II lacquers, Tamiya acrylics, and 502 Abteilung oils. Though I've had someone offer to buy this model from me, I think I'm going to get it live in the display cabinet for the foreseeable future!
Comments and criticism are welcome as always!

You've done a wonderful job on it! I'd be proud of this model, and like you I don't think I could sell it, its just too awesome!

Nicely done!
I see they do a T-70 now, can we expect one of those next?

Thanks everyone!
Eventually... I have a couple in my stash and I've been commission to do one, but I won't start on it until springtime.

Regular scheme or Black Leader? Or both?
Need to get some of these myself, but I think I'll save it for the summer and use them as an excuse to learn some airbrush skills (don't fancy brushwork on a predominantly white model of this size!  ). If you've had a look at the new ones, would you say there's any difference in quality between the T-65 and T-70 kits? I'm torn on which one to get (I know, both is the correct answer! ) but if one is a noticeably better kit then I'll get that.

The client hasn't told me which scheme he wants yet. For my own, I'll be going with the white and blue scheme because I hate painting black!

They're both really nice, but I would say that the T-65 is a better kit overall in terms of fit and ease of painting.
