1/72 Star Wars Tie Interceptor - Fine Molds - Completed

Finally, Tie Interceptor project came to an end. Even as a Fine Molds product, it had few shortcomings (decals, masks, panels fitting). Overall I'm happy with the final result.

Getting close to the finish line with this build. Tie received Badaab Black wash (Citadel) to make it look very used and beat up. Some may think it's too heavy, but keep in mind that pictures are close-ups and in reality the elements are much smaller.

Finally I got to painting stage. Since none of the grey shades in my paint rack really fit the job, so by trail & error I came up with one which suits me. I used Flat White (XF-2) and Light Grey (XF-66).

I removed and prepared the solar panels. First they received 2 coats of Alclad II Gloss Black Base, followed after one day by 2 coats of  Alclad II Prismatic Sapphire. Unfortunately pictures are not showing the whole effect, but panels' color looks different from different angles.
