I tried panel lining with black and gray respectively to see how they'd look different.

Together with the X-Wing in the same scale.

The A-Wing Starfighter has been released as the 10th entry in the Star Wars Vehicle Model series. Maybe they felt one would be a bit lacking in volume, so the set comes with two A-Wings. Since they're molded in a single color, a straight build alone looks pretty plain, but once you add panel lining and stick on the seals, they come together looking quite convincing.

That said, the seals around the cockpit area are tricky to apply cleanly, so it might be better to do some partial painting there. Either way, small as they are, they show off a pretty solid level of sculpting — same as the previous releases. On top of that, this kit comes with a specially designed stand for displaying both A-Wings, letting you position them one in front of the other and even tilt them, so you can set up a more dynamic display.

Like the previous releases, it's a solid little display kit with decent quality — looks like a fun build for any Star Wars fan. :-)
