This is a very simple kit and the scale is deceiving. This model is not accurate but looks fair. I added several extra tubes using Plastruct .025mm styrene round rods because there is lack of tube in this kit and to increase the realism. I used the brand new JBOT decals and I highly recommend using these decals instead of the MPC/ERTL. The color quality is a lot better and they are some interesting extras such as:
- R2D2
- Extra stripes

Painting: - Airbrush: Large areas (light gray) - Hand painting: details Paints: - Light gray, dark gray, white, orange and flesh: Acrylic Delta Ceramcoat - Chainmail (dark silver), brass and shining gold: Games Workshop Citadel (Acrylic) - Dust: charcoal - Rust: yellow pigment powder
