Mike Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I've just received the latest newsletter from our chums at Luckymodel, and my eyes were drawn to the 1:144 MF that Finemolds are releasing soon http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=FIN%20SW-11 I always wanted a 1:72 one, but the price was too much for my meagre means and display would be tricky at my house, so this one's a blessing. I shall be saving up all my milk tokens in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm pleased to see this coming out, because I'm trying to arrange a passage to Alderaan. Just myself, the boy, two droids, and no questions... Obi-Jiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 So shall I. It'll go nicely with the many other Falcons I have, all still unbuilt! Obi-Jiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'VE GOT ONE! Expect a review in the next 24 hours - courtesy of Hobby Link Japan, who have them in stock here as I type this! First impression is that it's a lovely little kit, and a lot more shelf friendly than the 1:72 kit. The part count is obviously way down on that kit, but the detail is still pretty impressive, even down to a tiny cockpit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Awesome, Sounds like a great kit and I look forward to the review. I have the 1:72 one so not sure if I'll be getting this one or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Looking forward to the review Mike, I too have the large one and may be tempted to move to the rebel side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabio Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 What sort of price are these little fellas? I've got the old AMT one to do but surely one of these will be much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 What sort of price are these little fellas? I've got the old AMT one to do but surely one of these will be much better! HLJ's page here reckons about £34 and change - plus shipping, of course. The AMT one is impressive in size, but the detail is soft compared to the Finemolds kits - it's a product of its time really. This one in 1:144 is so shelf friendly, I might have to slap it together pretty soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
