http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net you get to be in on the planning. Well, to the extent you get to help me figure out coloration, etc.

Now what's this project? Well, let me preface this with a story. Ever since I was about 7 years old and in love with "Return of the Jedi", I've been hunting for a very specific model kit but haven't had much luck. Today, I got a call from my cousin saying "Hey Nick. Guess what I found when I was at the train shop with my dad? Found you a, still in a brand new box and everything, A-Wing kit circa 1983!". Of course, at that point...I'm ecstatic. So now, I begin the planning phase and want to share the wonderful joy of this project with all of you!

Here is what the A-Wing design looks like:

Now, here are my color choices for the primary body(ignore the darker part on the schematic, as on the ILM production model the A-Wing had a blood red stripe down the middle)...
"Light Sea Grey"
"Middlestone"
"German Grey"

Explanation of the color choices:

I wanted to do something that wouldn't look completely out of place for a Star Wars vehicle, but at the same time...I want something to reflect the "stealthy" nature of the A-Wing(which was always described as being a deep recon/raiding vessel).
So, help a brother out in planning what paints he needs to get! If you can think of any other Vallejo Air/Model Color paints...add your ideas in, with a picture of how the color looks and the specific name of it!

And if anyone here is able to help me create a stencil of a stooping hawk with clutching talons for airbrushing(preferably one that could be used to emblazon on both of the tail fins without any major issues), I would very much appreciate that!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336178/2270256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336178/2270256.page GMT
