Anakins Jedi Starfighter
I found today the last missing Revell easykit in my collection, Anakins Jedi Starfighter from the Clone Wars.
The kit is again very easy to build, all parts fit perfectely together. The kit includes 27 painted parts (also a R2D2 figure, a Anakin figure (of course in CW style) and a construction manual. You can build the kit with extended or retracted landing gear. A stand is included.
length: 205mm
scale: ?
cost: 20€
story:
During the Clone Wars the Jedi Order deployed the single seat, tapered starfighter of the Galactic Republic in large numbers. A typical feature of this Delta-7B-starfighter is the position of the astromech droid (in Anakin's case R2-D2) just fore of the cockpit instead of next to it. The relatively light armament is explained by the Jedi's confidence in their own skills of conflict avoidance. Its modest dimensions also offer too little space for its own hyperdrive. This extremely light, short starfighter is well protected against bombardment. The two laser cannons it carries with it are partly concealed. Anakin uses a Jedi starfighter, among other things, when rescuing Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta.
per:
It is a great kit. The detailing is good and it is very easy to build.
versus:
The weathering could be better.
