1/72 Slave I

Description

This is an injection-plastic kit of a science-fiction/anime item.

At last, the long-awaited release from Fine Molds is here! The infamous ship of Jango Fett as seen so dramatically in Episode 2 is now in stock and shipping! This is easily Fine Molds’ largest-ever kit, measuring a whopping 30.5 cm long. Fine Molds’ design team travelled to Lucas’ facilities in the USA to personally measure and photograph the model used for the first Star Wars films (which was also the basis for the CG model in Attack of the Clones. Notable features are moving wings and a fully detailed cockpit (which does not rotate, because it’s not supposed to; that “feature” was added at the whim of ERTL in their old kit, but is not official). All instructions in Japanese, but the illustrations are intuitive; a translation chart listing the colors in the instructions and their English translations is here. Highly recommended!
