Custom Buck Rogers Starfighter + Repro Accessories!

[Corellian Corvette]

I hope I'm allowed to post non-figure based customs here. If not, sorry for the spam and I'll move this to the Microverse.

I had this old Starfighter lying around. It was yellowed and incomplete, so I decided to do some "show accurate" style stickers, done in a sort of vintage style. I looked at the Monogram model, some reference shots of the shooting ship, and used online scans of original Star Wars vehicle stickers for inspiration of the "stylized" look.

Additionaly, I had no accessories for this, so I sent off original parts to be reproduced. The bottom wings, the guns, the thrusters and the landing gear are all reproduction parts.

I was really impressed how accurate to scale the vehicle is compared to the original model. It's too bad there are NO casting details at all - but when compared to one of the show models you can see how some basic stickers can enhance the detail of the ship.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

I've NEVER seen it look nicer..

That is an INCREDIBLE project to complete, with repo-ed parts and custom stickers.

I ALWAYS love how it looked from the rear... Nice shots, my friend.

It is spectacular.

OK, I'm really late to this thread, but this is fantastic! Corellian Corvette- I assume you drew the decals in the computer; would you be willing to share your designs (files or printout)? I'd love to do this a my extra loose Starfighter!
