Revell X-Wing Starfighter (easykit and easykit pocket)

This time I make a dual review on the Revell X-Wing easykit and easykit pocket. The easykit version includes 38 painted parts (also a Luke and R2D2 figure, so it is of course Red Five) and a construction manual. The easykit pocket version is a lot smaller. It includes 21 painted parts (again Luke and R2D2 and again Red Five ). Both kits are very detailed especially the easykit pocket version for this small size and both are very easy to build. Only the weathering is missing.
You have the choice to build the easykit version with or without the leanding gear. Alos the cockpit can be opened. The easykit pocket version has no features  and comes without a stand.

story:
The X-wing (T-65) was a prominent series of multiple starfighters produced by Incom with a characteristic "X"-shape of four wings, known as S-foils, extending out from the fuselage. These starfighters were found in the service of the Rebel Alliance, New Republic, and also the Galactic Alliance. They were originally meant for the Galactic Empire but when the entire Incom design team defected with the prototypes to the Rebel Alliance this deal was over.

information easykit:
length: 21cm
wing-span: 20cm
cost: 14€

information easykit pocket:
length: 11cm
wing-span: 10cm
cost: 5€

opinion:
I was always a big X-Wing fan. It is definitely one of my favorite Starfighters. The Revell model kits are great but there are some points I don't like. First is the missing weathering and stand (but that is not a big deal). But why always Red Five, I would like to see some other numbers of Red squadron.
So I give the easykit version a 9/10 and the easykit pocket version a 8,5/10.

I plan on eventually archiving every one of them here. I just need about ten more hours in the day.

Hi, I found a Y-wing the other day but they are asking to much for it. I could buy another hasbro y-wing for that  price.  Are they over priced were you are?

yeah the Revell Y-Wing was a bit costly. I think the price was 20€=30,8(AUD) but I'm not sure. It's been a while since a bought this thing.

Slave 1

This is probably the most detailed Star Wars model kit from Revell. The detailing in the engine-area is incredible.
The easykit shows the Slave 1 with the paintwork of  Boba Fett. It includes 35 painted parts (also a Boba Fett figure) and a construction manual. The front cannons and the wings are rotatable. The kit comes also with weathering which is very good.
cost: about 25€
length: 240mm
rating: 9,5/10

story:
Slave I was a modified prototype Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft used by famed bounty hunters Jango Fett and his cloned "son", Boba Fett. It was greatly modified with advanced weapons systems by both Fetts during their respective use.
Originating from Oovo IV, the ship was stolen by Jango Fett, replacing his previous ship, Jaster's Legacy. After Jango's death on Geonosis in 22 BBY, the ship was inherited by Boba Fett and used on several missions during and after the Clone Wars. It was subsequently replaced by the Slave II, Slave III, and Slave IV.

Nice review and great shots, Fila. That is one great looking kit. How long do you think it took to assemble?

[FialaFernbrugg]

I think about two hours. The parts fit perfectly together and it is very easy to build.

DeAgostini Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor

I found today the DeAgostini magazine number 3. It comes with a very nice model of the Eta-2 starfighter and a lot of information about this fighter. The model shows Anakin's starfighter (battle over Coruscant). There are some great details on it and I like the weathering, only the republic-symbol is a bit disappointing. The model is a bit smaller as the Revell easykit pocket version.
The magazine includes also a great TIE-fighter poster.

The next magazine includes a Imperial Stardestroyer model.
