I know for a fact that those Resistance crews kept their T-70's in better shape than this. A friend of mine was one of the crew back in '87 and said they would never let the paint get so scratched or let their pilots go up with battle damage or weathering. They really took pride in their fleet and you should be ashamed for taking artistic license and making something so historically inaccurate.
You are so full of BS I can't believe it. If you knew anything you would know that space is full of dust and sub micro meteorites which can abrade the paint, and when maintenance crews walk on panels during repair.
When you got to the bit where you drilled the whole for the display stand I was like "ooh, finally something within my skill set" lol.. Love your work man.
Hey The Inner Nerd, WOW! Nice make over of a assembly line toy.This Revell Star Wars Resistance X-Wing Fighter looks Super Excellent! I liked the part where Gold Leader Blasted the Death Star. lol jk O that was back in the real original MOVIE 1977 when I was a teen. hahaha Yep, Old man rambling ... Thank you for sharing your time, talents, skills, tips, great love for the hobby, easy instructions, and Awesome creative build videos. Take care have a great week. Peace & Joy :) Back to more videos or an old man nap. :P (edit: shared...Thank you once again, EXCELLENT Job on showing us how to take the time to make a model even better with weathering and chipping. Super Nice Job!)
This vid is the reason I came back to kit buildin but also to restart or should I say Awaken My passion for kits I never had the skill to do wash and weathering never had an airbrush and cuz of this I’ve invested in stuff I need to learn new skills. Sorry if I sound lame just saying your vid helped a fellow kit builder come back better
Very nice work, way more effort was put into this Revell kit then it should ever deserve but still, the end result is impressive. Keep the dream alive, keep identity politics out of Star Wars!
A lovely bit of work dude. You`ve essentially taken a bit of cheap cash-in chintz and with dedication, patience and skill made it great. And the music....well....EPIC.
This is the one thing I liked about the new star wars movies. The new xwings are awesome. In fact the new equipment for the first order/empire is pretty cool.
Great work buddy, I'm a newbie subscriber and I'm currently repainting the bigger version of this kit to the partisan scheme seen in rogue one, great techniques and a well made video, happy modelling mate, Tim the primered thumb 🖒😉
Awesome job!! I learned some new techniques that I can't wait to try!! Thanks!! Hey one thing about this kit. The splash guards on the lasers are oriented 90° wrong. The plastic is very soft on the kit and you can actually twist then into position and they will stay. Thanks again!!
Man you could make even a Revell kit look fantastic... wait this IS a Revell kit! See I knew it Tee Hee. Seriously, some fine fine work here. Thank you.
Adam Savage has a series of videos about this x wing getting ready for display in the smithsonian. They talk about Hangar rash and other weathering on this screen original. So wear and tear was built in to make it original and look used, not factory new.
Moi je suis parti sur star wars bandai et je regarde te video car franchement super top ton travail dsl je parle pas trop anglais la j attend mon vaisseaux avec led les destroyer et 2 autre maquette bandai j espère faire comme toi car tu fait du très beau travail ...j adore et respect
Thank you. The music is an extended version of the force theme mixed with Rey's theme. I'm sorry I can't remember where the track came from but thanks for watching :)
Nice work. I had no idea a snap kit could look so good. Not a huge follower of star wars so this is probably a dumb observation, but flying with no pilot? Or can the little droid do that?
Jason Harris Thank you. A little side project just for fun. Yes BB-8 is the droid and it can fly it. (It is just a model though so it wont actually fly anyway)
I enjoyed watching this build. Thank you. If I had to critique one thing, is the photos at the end and how flat, dark and diffused the model looked vs. the build footage where it looked alive. I know this video is 6 yrs old, and maybe things are different. I don't know. I'll look at more. Bottom line, nice work and thanks.
Also, I forgot to mention that I appreciate the work that went into the editing and noting what materials you used along the way. Very well done and helpful. I made note of that if I ever do a build video.
Absolutely amazing! Do you use anything to make brush painting with Tamiya acrylics any better? I've found they dry really quick on the brush and get lumpy.
Thank you and thanks for watching :) I used a slowed version of Rey's force theme. The others are mixes that unfortunately I can't remember. All from Episode VII though. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your build :)
I'm not a fan of star wars at all but the way you took that snap together toy and made an awesome detailed model look alike is incredible inner. Question for you, how long have you been building models? till the next video take care my friend
GRIM REAPER13 Glad you enjoyed the video despite the subject thank you! The soundtrack is a slowed loop mix of "Ray's song" from Episode VII The Force Awakens.
I get what you're saying but these inlet designs were based off of the original design of the X-wing created in the late '70's by the legendary Ralph McQuarry so if anything, it's more true to the Star Wars aesthetic than what we ended up with.
Mike Silver TheKenjiStream This is the second video I've uploaded for this model. The first had a great mix of original Star Wars background themes but it got blocked so had to settle for a looped cover instead so you could actually view it
Good job kid now let's blow this thing and go home :). Serious note though, for the really intricate painting inside the cockpit you could do with some smaller brushes, you can buy really short and thin brushes that look a bit like the end of a cocktail stick, might help you a bit.
Beautiful job. I've got one of these and I'll be copying you! Have you considered building the big Zvezda Star Destroyer? I've got one waiting for me to figure out fiber optics. I'd love to see how you'd handle one.
@@TheInnerNerd Go for it, it's an awesome kit! And cheap on Amazon (UK) currently. I've got two, I'm just waiting to find the nerve to do them justice.
Looks really nice, you've done an amazing job. Can I ask you where this version of the Star Wars theme comes from please? You didn't list it in the description
Cassius Invictus Thank you! I use a cake baking tub to put over the model once painted, raise it up of the work bench to allow air flow or the paint will take forever to dry
Two questions, where do you get the thin lead wire? Also, when you use the AK Interactive to do the chipping, how long to dry between coats? I cannot find any direction on the web or their website other then "let dry between coats". Note I've also read you can use cheap hairspray for thd same effect. Great work on the finish!
TheKenjiStream This is the second video I've uploaded for this model. The first had a great mix of original Star Wars background themes but it got blocked so had to settle for a looped cover instead so you could actually view it
Hello. Thank you for your comments. I am thinking of making some videos off the side of my main projects to show this in more detail. To answer your questions now. The ratio is roughly 80/90% thinner (white spirit or turpentine) to the Abteilung 502 oil. The consistancy should be slightly thicker than water
The Inner Nerd thank you so much for your quick reply. I think I've seen in one of your videos the technique where you brush the entire model over with thinned oil paint. Afterwards dried off with a dry paper towel. Do you thin the paint down to 80/90% as well or more?
Zippi Puq The paint is thinned roughly again, this time to around 40/60%. Gloss colours need more thinning typically. The trick I use on Tamiya acrylics is to apply X-20A immediately after getting a new jar. Add the thinner into the jar directly up to the neck of the jar, it should be then ready for airbrushing straight from the jar obve shaken thoroughly
Hmmm, are you trying to "fool" someone? Oh yeah, that's right all the green days and recycling efforts made in the United States are just shipped to China so they can produce more crap for us to buy. Huh, that makes sense.... Go Green!!!!

Wow!!! Someone needs to get off their high horse and relax. Even F-14's get a little dirty every on e in a while. Geeeez 🙄
@@erikerice9068 Yeah, well you're wrong. I've known several Resistance fighter jocks and they would never stand for this kind of carbon scoring.
@@straddlecakes well, I thought chicks dig scoring. Adds character and all. Oh well.
You are so full of BS I can't believe it. If you knew anything you would know that space is full of dust and sub micro meteorites which can abrade the paint, and when maintenance crews walk on panels during repair.
Woosh on every reply 😂
I don’t like Star Wars but I like the inner nerd
Well that was a dam nice build.....Bravo.
A really good example of the different painting and weathering methods at our disposal.
More love and respect for Star Wars in this model than The Last Jedi!!!
That is the best model i have seen in years. Well done on the outstanding kit. Keep up the fenominal work!
Excellent work on this, especially considering you started with what is more of a toy than a model
You do a great job, I learn much from your work
When you got to the bit where you drilled the whole for the display stand I was like "ooh, finally something within my skill set" lol..
Love your work man.
Hahah glad you could relate to some of it. Thank you and thanks for watching :)
I recommend getting your hands on the bandai kits instead. Would love to see what you can do with those.
Suddenly thinking heavily towards taking apart, and improving my Action Fleet X-wings, and making them more "movie accurate".
Hey The Inner Nerd, WOW! Nice make over of a assembly line toy.This Revell Star Wars Resistance X-Wing Fighter looks Super Excellent!

An amazing build. I’ve loved watching this. Thank you for posting it. Your tip with the sea salt to create the uneven paint finish is genius.
This vid is the reason I came back to kit buildin but also to restart or should I say
Awaken
My passion for kits I never had the skill to do wash and weathering never had an airbrush and cuz of this I’ve invested in stuff I need to learn new skills.
Sorry if I sound lame just saying your vid helped a fellow kit builder come back better
Awesome paintwork my friend. Very well done 👍
Wow looks unbelievably good. Excellent work as always
Great paint job, excellent music, beautiful video.
Beautifully done mate
Very nice work, way more effort was put into this Revell kit then it should ever deserve but still, the end result is impressive. Keep the dream alive, keep identity politics out of Star Wars!
awesome work. also great edits with the music...... would like to see more star wars builds
A+ job! I might have to buy some paints after watching the video and comparing your's to my sad stock model!
WOW! Very well done! Looks like a movie prop!
Al Robins Hoping to be asked for Episode IX movie props 🤞😅
With a resume like these videos you are well on your way!

Woahhhh excellent work my dude
Great ideas broham, can't wait to get my model going and use some of your examples, specially the salt weathering, makes chipping look amazing.
Nice job on the weathering. The interior cockpit looks cool, too.
Magnifique franchement respect j adore votre travail

Amazing Work!
Amazing work, tempted to get back into building models now :)
Fantastic job dude.i have a few oh the Bandai ones in the hanger waiting for a pain job and picked up some brilliant tips.keep up the great work.
The Force s strong in you
Adriano Papa Haha I was wondering how long this comment would take... 😆😆👏
beautiful.....and the soundtrack!! (where did you get the compilation please)....
Thank you. The music is an extended version of the force theme mixed with Rey's theme. I'm sorry I can't remember where the track came from but thanks for watching :)
Excellent work, but annoying how Revell has the laser cannons sideways! Too bad these model companies rush out a product and miss details like that.
Best one I have seen , well done
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Nice touch with the music!
Love the sequel trilogy x wings so much
They do look cool, retro yet modern all in one design. Thanks for watching :)
Nice work. I had no idea a snap kit could look so good. Not a huge follower of star wars so this is probably a dumb observation, but flying with no pilot? Or can the little droid do that?

Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Great build!I think that its a shame that they started using those large inlets on the engines.
Absolutely brilliant
Awesome job on the XWing
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Great build and awesome finish. Can u pleas tell me the name of this song because it sounds like out of this world.
Markus Snyman Its a slowed mix of Ray's song from Episode VII
Absolutely amazing! Do you use anything to make brush painting with Tamiya acrylics any better? I've found they dry really quick on the brush and get lumpy.
Neil Barke Only X-20A thinner. You can use Tamiya's retarder to increase drying time but it tends to make to paint more translucent
awesome job!!!!!!
Adorei eu sou muito fã de star wars
Nicely done.
Never ever let your audience stare at a blank screen for more than 5secs...thats bad. Sorry, just feel it is so. Otherwise, good job on the built.
I enjoyed that part. Rules are for binary creatures.
@14:25, did you send away the "made in China" mark?
Ever thought of being a brain surgeon? Man! Those are steady hands!
I did, but I don't think my workbench is tidy enough to be performing operations lol. Thanks for watching :)
@@TheInnerNerd hahahahahahahaha, great reply!
13:27
Whats the title of the music
Its so beautiful
Nice work by the way
If you find out, I'd love to know too. :)
Its a star wars the force awaken music with a beautiful woman singing it but who is she?
@@hermannfegelein9929 that's the part I'd love to know too. :)
It’s the trailer music used for The Force Awakens, the main trailer, with Han Solo saying “It’s true, all of it.”
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/jQmz0EbLIxs/видео.html
If you cut your cannon tips and rotate them 90 degrees they'll look better. No Idea why Revell molded them wrong.
Donald McClellan I did notice that. Didnt want to make the model into a big project so left most of the build out of the box
Very nice job!
Nice works there. I'm doing this blue squadron now and following some of your methods. Can I know which Star Wars themes you used for this video?
Thank you and thanks for watching :) I used a slowed version of Rey's force theme. The others are mixes that unfortunately I can't remember. All from Episode VII though. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your build :)
I prefer the bandai version for some reason
The Bandai kit is more accurate and considerably less toy-like. You know quality when you see it!!
Awesome Build!
Nice.
nice work
X-Wing > Res. X-Wing
you just earned a follow, great job :D
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Freakin' awesome, i need to try to do that
Could you write down the music tracks that you used in the video plz? Excellent work on the model btw:)

Great build, thanks for sharing. You've been subbed
very good work
Hello✨ Great work 👍
Hello. Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Great build. I do think that its a shame they went for those wide engine inlets in the modern X-wing. To me that does not fit the star wars genre.
I get what you're saying but these inlet designs were based off of the original design of the X-wing created in the late '70's by the legendary Ralph McQuarry so if anything, it's more true to the Star Wars aesthetic than what we ended up with.
Oh really. I find that interesting info. Thanks for sharing.
Great work. Looping the same 3 minute song for 15 minutes straight is a bit much tho
Thank you. And it's not a loop its a slowed version of Ray's force song from TFA
Just a comment for the algorithm
prefer this version !
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Nice work. Should have sanded off "MADE IN CHINA".
nice work !
How's the engine supposed to work if it's cut in half...?
X-Wing has 4 engines :D
@@jacekrenkas yes but how does it turn inside if it's not round but cut-in-half-shape....????
@@ThirstyB3N It's not a jet engine. This is from a different reality, we don't know what it is and how it works :)
Don’t ask embarrassing questions 😂
There are 4 half circle engines that when formed together makes a circular engine

Great work Mate! How do you keep your model clean of dust when you airbrush?
Cassius Invictus Thank you! I use a cake baking tub to put over the model once painted, raise it up of the work bench to allow air flow or the paint will take forever to dry
Outstanding job! :) Which Revell kit did you use for the improvements please?
Russells Models Thank you www.revell.com/model-kits/entertainment/85-1632.html#.Wfd-6zKnw0M
Thank you for the quick reply. I've a similar kit, but not the snap-tite one. You've inspired me to have a bash :D
レーザー砲の向きっていうか、横じゃなくて縦じゃね？

Two questions, where do you get the thin lead wire? Also, when you use the AK Interactive to do the chipping, how long to dry between coats? I cannot find any direction on the web or their website other then "let dry between coats". Note I've also read you can use cheap hairspray for thd same effect. Great work on the finish!
just dry to the touch. No more is needed.
tin soldering wire can be used instead of lead. it's available in different diameters.
What’s the duration of this project?
I take around 4 weeks normally on builds
The building is cool but the music... Gezz there are so many tracks and yet you prefer to loop that sort of remix
TheKenjiStream This is the second video I've uploaded for this model. The first had a great mix of original Star Wars background themes but it got blocked so had to settle for a looped cover instead so you could actually view it
Ok it makes sense now.
Thanks for the reply !
Greetings. Excellent work !! Please tell me, at what ratio do you think abteilung oil paints for washes? And which thinner do you use ?
i am interested in this too. I really like your abteilung works, and i want to know the ratios and the thinner for your work with them. thanks :)
Hello. Thank you for your comments. I am thinking of making some videos off the side of my main projects to show this in more detail. To answer your questions now. The ratio is roughly 80/90% thinner (white spirit or turpentine) to the Abteilung 502 oil. The consistancy should be slightly thicker than water
The Inner Nerd thank you so much for your quick reply.
I think I've seen in one of your videos the technique where you brush the entire model over with thinned oil paint. Afterwards dried off with a dry paper towel. Do you thin the paint down to 80/90% as well or more?
Zippi Puq The paint is thinned roughly again, this time to around 40/60%. Gloss colours need more thinning typically. The trick I use on Tamiya acrylics is to apply X-20A immediately after getting a new jar. Add the thinner into the jar directly up to the neck of the jar, it should be then ready for airbrushing straight from the jar obve shaken thoroughly
Great work so can you please make a Video how to weathering a Model step by step there is no Tipps and Tricks for beginners thank you........👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Yes Part 5 of the Mig-31 build will be focused on weathering in more detail than any other of my videos
Nice work indeed!! Btw where is Poe? 😊
Thank you and thanks for watching, Poe is busy on a side quest :)
BTW this wasn't Poe's X-Wing
11:28 Name of this brush?
You sanded the ejection marks...and left the "made in china"...WHY?
Manuel Fxcwc The plastic was REALLY hard. Had problems removing the mould seams. As this is still essentially a toy, I decided just to leave it on
Hmmm, are you trying to "fool" someone? Oh yeah, that's right all the green days and recycling efforts made in the United States are just shipped to China so they can produce more crap for us to buy.
Huh, that makes sense....
Go Green!!!!
