Go for it anyway! It's small, sure, but I use the same techniques I use on everything else. Plus Vader inside the cockpit is pretty much invisible when done due to being black in a dark room. haha! Do it for no other reason than you're a SW fan, it's a fun build, and because the kit is very crisp and easy to put together/mask for painting. :-)

No, you misunderstand- I'd love to be able to work that large. X-Wing (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=174&enmi=X-Wing) is 1/270.

hahah! The thought had occurred, but I thought, nah... gotta be too small as that's the problem I see the most with sci-fi modelers.
