Star Wars: Cloud City Aircar (Retro-SF 1/72)
« on: August 30, 2011, 09:47:13 PM »

Time to come back on the aircar, after some 1/1 work at home...

White primer; correction on putty; re-white primer.

I'va again watched the movie scene, but there is no indication of colours for what concerns the bays. So I've decided to use a "standard" alu...
