Habu12 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 This kit is everything it’s touted to be. If I have one complaint, is a common one for Bandai kits, is the decals suck. But anyway, OOB. It was an absolute delight to build. No issues whatsoever with the build itself. Micron tight engineering! 35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowder17 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Nah dont like it , the AMT one is much better.......Only kidding its amazing. I really do want to get one of these. Im bored with the FM one now. My goal would be the revell master series one and the Bandai one together. You have done a really good job , weathering is great. Well done. Bet you are a bit sad that the build is over?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Cor Blimey that very nice, love the finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastvader Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looks excellent. Can't justify the outlay when I have two AMT and two Bandai 1/144 in the stash. But it is very tempting. 5 hours ago, gunpowder17 said: Im bored with the FM one now. My goal would be the revell master series one and the Bandai one together.

gunpowder17 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 They are yes. The fimemolds one is slightly crisper and the plastic is nicer. I said that as its cheaper than the FM boxing Yes it is a bit confusing. I just re read my original post. What i mean is that im fed bored of building the fm/revell one , but in an ideal world i would like the fm/revell and the bandai one both together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastvader Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Ah right. I get you now. Though FM moulds must be degrading as they still make them for Revell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yes i would think so Theres slightly more flash on the revell issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, anything else will be an opportunity to develop your modeling skills as not much else comes in “Perfect Grade”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkas Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Very nice-looking! The best part about it, to my mind, is the restrained weathering. You have portrayed the worn and hard-used look of the ship (the hunk-of-junkery, as another poster put it ) without burying it in so much grime and rust that it resembles nothing so much as a pile of dirt and oxide that somehow maintains the shape of the original ship, but no-one is quite sure how or why! Far too many MFs go overboard with the weathering, but you've got it right, IMO. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadKarma75 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 That’s some fine work on the old girl, I’d join in with the wanting of the kit but have the diagostini still waiting to be built 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think the DA Falcon has a bit more detail, but as far as fit and speed of build, it’s Bandai all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not had a close up look at the Bandai kit, the DA is good but needs some attention in places where it looks a little toy like, considering doing a wip for her that may run into decades at current build speed 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
