Well, after quick a lot of modeling in my youngness, i'm back on modeling after a 15 years pause.
Back in the days, it was mostly star wars kits, and very few airplanes.
Feeling the nostalgy of those days, i'm trying to going back on the bench with help of all ressources that have come by now with internet.
As for starting, model of choice, an old A Wing AMT ERTL snap fast kit.
Have just paint it light white/grey on the grapes in those days and left it in box.
Quite easy to tell that those kind of kits were not very detailled. It was supposed to be build easily without glue, in fact, only few pieces can adjust fine. Some work have to be done before cement them.
Another step was to withdraw all of the old paint. After some tentatives with soap, washing machine product and so on, a soude product called 'Destop' in France make the good job.
Now, i'm trying to work on the body and check what have to be adjusted, alongside to study the correct painting colors.
(Fun fact, original Ralph MacQuarrie concept was blue paint, but due to blue screens, red paint was required for special effects).
