Satya's blog - Striping and body-work

While the X-Wing's wing decoration was done with masking tape, I got lazy and did the stripe down each side with a decal. Each stripe was cut into three pieces for easy application. They have to be lined up right so that the final look is seam-less. Here two of the pieces have been applied:


Here are the larger parts ready for assembly. The wings were glued to the body but the glue broke apart after I put together the top and bottom halves. The wings rotate within the housing, but it's fine as long as the model sits statically on its landing gear.
