Great finish from what looks like a very challenging kit. I believe the N1 is the most beautiful starfighter to come from the Star Wars Universe. Hopefully with Din Djarin reintroducing it into canon we'll see more well-detailed models come out.

This is definitely my favorite starship design from the Prequels. I really do hope that there's a better kit of this available someday. This MPC/ERTL one is DEFINITELY not worth the prices that they're currently going for!

Complaining about details over a snap together kit that is clearly meant for children feels completely pointless here. Maybe start off with a kit meeting your expectations would have been a better option. 🤷🏻♂️

The only N-1 kit that "meets my expectations" is made by Fine Molds, is 1/72 scale, and is impossibly hard to find. So I made lemonade and built this one instead.

It’s a great work btw. I disagree with the exhaust, don’t need to print them, it’s a matter of filling and sanding. I made the die cast, repainting and filling it….now I’ll try the plastic one. Never tried the compound, any tips? I’m using SMS paint and ammo a-stand (ex Alclad) . This is the accurate colour: SMS - Premium Gelb RLM04 30ml - PL180 Don’t need to mix. Love sms paint, but you can find the alternative. Great job

You could just build this straight from the box if you wanted, because the silver parts have a chrome coating already applied on them. And if the gaps on the nacelle tips don't bother you, then you're gold.

Once the gloss black layer is down and cured for a few days, I apply the chrome. No sanding in-between. Could be a lot of factors, though: temperature, humidity, air pressure from airbrush, etc...
