Since I'm too lazy to take a pic of the Bandai X-Wing kit, I've decided to take it a different route as far as markings go. Along with the current striping markings in the kit, I'm going to make my own decal of this to give it a little "what-if" feel to it:
I found this image online a couple weeks ago and thought to myself, "Oh yeah, I've got to do tis one!"
I know the kit is in 1/72 scale and the decal is going to be small. I'm going to try my hardest to sharpen it the best I could. The biggest challenge is to paint a white background to fit the decal.

Tom, you can cut a circle of white decal paper to put under it. I can send you some if need be.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Now why didn’t I think of that? Thank you. Hold off for now. I “think” I may have some spare white circle decals in my stash.

Or, you could buy a 5,000 dollar printer. I’d give you all my badness!

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Yeah, Poe’s X-Wing is a possibility. I’ve thought about doing a black, grey, & White camo version or digital camo. Haven’t decided yet. Still trying to decide where to place the custom decal too. Topside Wings? Fuselage? So many possibilities.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
I think if I did one I'd have to do it in Euro 1 camo.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Found a few more cool schemes I liked online. Now to decide which one to do.
