It looks like there is some confusion between the Bandai version andthe Revell version of TIE fighter kits.Let me put the recorded straight:Although the Bandai versions of Star Wars kits may say Revell somewhere on the box they are nowhere like the full blown Revell versions.The Revell TIE fighter says 1/65 scale on the box and the model is way bigger than the Bandai 1/72 version, which is probably estimated as the 'real' things are fictional machines (yup, sorry to piss on true SW fans party, but they're not real). Yeah I was disappointed too.Also the Revell TIE fighter comes pre-coloured and very well moulded which is pretty good for a Revell Easy kit, at least limited edition version is anyhow,

It feels like all Bandai kits lead to this. This is the pinnacle of all the SW kits available and quite simply a must have. Its not cheap. Lets get that out of the way. But for what you get and the work that must have gone into this to get this into production......its worth it. This is not a kit for beginners either. Despite being a snap fix kit that doesnt require glue you need to have a fair level of kit building skills to get this across the line. It will also need a lot of paint work/weathering to get this looking anything like the screen accurate model. I loved every single minute of this build. It took about 2 weeks to put together and paint as i went. And im still on the weathering stage so not yet finished.

This kit by Revell “Bandai” is very accurate to the films as are all “Bandai” kits in Association with Revell!This one has the most parts & care is needed to press fit & identify numbered parts & glue the tiny non moving bits & study picture diagrams. Having said that, I used some bits not fitted to model for a custom base! Acrylic paint painted, on enamel Matt spray.The wing tabs rotate & care needed to make sure parts are correctly oriented for each side. A great kit!

You have to paint the interior if you want perfect colour accuracy so it would of been nice if the interior came in a dark gray plastic.Other than that this is a great model which is somehow able to stand up on its own but does come with two identical stands (which you could accidentally throw away because the instructions don’t mention them) and a base molded in a strange orange colour which you should probably paint over.

These Revell “Bandai” kits are the best for film accuracy & the wings fold or open!Parts are numbered, & press fit together for all but the smallest parts, take your time & follow pictures in the instructions & read the notes as to get the correct aspects. The base is superb & I cut & glued the photon torpedoes to the lip of the exhaust port, see pic!I used “Acrylic paints” on “mat enamel” spray paint

I was more of a trek modeller but I thought I’d give this one a go. These kits are far superior to the feeble polar lights Star Trek kits.Really fun build and looks amazing unpainted but if you like you can go further and make it look a little more worn and screen accurate.I’m now halfway through the snow speeder and just ordered the falcon which I’m really looking forward to building.

Another beautiful kit from Bandai. Parts are incredibly detailed and easy to put together (snap fit, no glue required). Some of the parts are very small so suitable for older children or anyone with a little model making experience. I was a little disappointed how small the finished model is but other than that, it's an amazing kit that any Star Wars fan should want in their collection.

Perfect. came fast considering it was sent from Japan. all brand new never opened. fun model to do with all different size pieces from really small for the blaster on the side of the head to buy pieces for the panels of the head/cockpit. Overall excellent for beginner to intermediate level.

Great kit I've not made all the star wars bandai kits yet but this one is my favourite so far to make. Easy to put together no glue needed but can use glue with some of the smaller parts. Great fun weathering and waiting this and a great addition to the Star Wars collection

Product it’s self is great but the box came with a delivery sticker on it now for me that was not a problem as it was purchased for my self but if it was a gift would have been amozon please box up these products before place stickers on them after all they are not cheap !

Another great Revell “ Bandai” kit, accurate to the film!Easy to press fit most parts except very small ones, especially be careful with the outer wing edges, the lower hatch I fitted to the stand, painted with “Acrylic paint” on a Matt finish enamel spray

Not a complicated model to build but the instructions can be a little bit difficult to follow. Not much to the model it's self though. The parts fit together well, so well that you'll not need to use any glue.

Extremely fun and the assembly was super easy. Bandai have killed it with this release.The attention to detail is amazing, was a pleasure to paint and weather!Great little project.

For Star wars models there is just Bandai.Dont be tempted with the cheaper Revell ones. These are of a much higher quality and are a joy to build and paint.

Great kit easy to put together and painting was fairly handy I also bought a bandai 144 snowspeeder but haven't got around to putting a diorama together yet
