MPC Empire Strikes Back Hoth Rebel Base build update August 4th, 2023

Here I'll post updates on what I have done to incorporate the X-Wings included with this kit into the diorama I'm working on. Unfortunately, the Y-Wings are just too goofy looking, and they were sculpted without proper reference material. After a discouraging setback with trying to use fiber optics to light the X-Wings' engines, I decided to go all out and use red 0402 SMDs for the engines.

Channeling out the engine cans was not too difficult of a task. the X-Wings come sculpted with only one laser cannon per side so in order to give them four laser cannons, I used sewing pins, capped with Wave 2mm semi-circular plastic sticks cut into segments to represent the flash suppressors at the tip of each. I just needed to drill a hole into the center of each of these segments.

Once the SMDs were fastened into position using 2 part Wave epoxy glue (which smells really badly). Once the X-wings' top and bottom halves were glued together, I added back plates that I had invented on my own to sort of represent the detail that's supposed to go there. I used masking circles by HiQ Parts to protect the SMDs.

The next step was to add detail to the tips of the engine nacelles. The way the kit comes, they look rather featureless. I used Wave plastic pipe cut into segments for the nacelle tips and plastic plate to create the T-sections. They look nice! Check out this comparison before/after picture:

I airbrushed these X-Wings with Model Master Camouflage Gray acrylic paint.

I had scanned the excellent Fine Molds decals for this kit, mathematically sized it down to the proper scale, and printed them out on Fine Molds clear decal paper.

I distressed the decals with my hobby knife as I saw fit, in order to create paint chips. That's it for this update. I'm nearly done!

I've always loved the B-Wing starfighter in Star Wars. Such an odd design - all asymmetrical. I like how the hull can rotate around the cockpit, how the wings fold down. It's just neat. And it's not as over-used as the X-Wing or TIE. There's a certain degree of novelty in seeing it.

What I'm really looking for is the Bandai kit... But that's incredibly hard to find these days. Hopefully we'll get a reprint soon. But, for now, I'm building this MPC "snap it" model kit.

Unfortunately, it's a pretty basic model kit.

The box proclaims that there's 23 parts, and I'm pretty sure that includes the stand. There's just three runners of plastic - two in white and one clear.

The molding is pretty terrible. The part numbers on the runners are almost unreadable... But that's fine, since there's so little to work with. The gates are huge and thick and horribly-placed. There's ugly seam-lines all over the place. And despite the fact that it's a "snap it" model, it really needs some glue.

The kit comes with both waterslide and sticker-style decals. And, oddly, the back of the box serves as the marking guide.

Honestly, I was kind of demoralized building this kit. The whole thing took maybe an hour and it looks ugly as sin. I'm going to have to do a full paint-job if I want it to look even remotely OK.

So, for now, I've just snapped it together and put it up on the shelf. It doesn't look great, but it's built. I'll revisit later when I feel up to painting it.
