Obi Wan´s Jedi Starfighter: Revell 1/24


Recommended Posts

Excellent looking model! It's good to see that a Snap-Kit can be finished to such a high standard...

Just one quick question. In the last picture, do you know what the multiple yellow 'propeller' shapes are meant to be? They look a lot like 'Kill' badges, but I can't imagine a Jedi keeping notches on his belt? Or am I thinking about this far too much? :undecided:

They are indeed kill markings; the propeller shapes represent the droid Tri-Fighter (also kitted by Revell), and I can't remember what the other shape represents. It's a long time since I fought in the Clone Wars...

Thank you very much, people.

Looks very nice...how big is it?

It´s about 8"/20 cm long.

The other markings could be Vulture droids possibly?

I also think that they are Vulture droids kill markings, although the shape is not too acurate.

I did mean to say that it was very nicely done, remiss of me. :)

I've not long finished Anakin's version and would like to know how to weather it. The only issues I had with my specific model was one of the wings didn't fit well into the fuselage so a wee bit of filing down was in order and I sealed the canopy as the fit was a bit loose. It's a nice looking fighter though and one of the best looking of the Jedi fighters.

seriously though - real nice - I had one of these on the bench for ages and abandoned it as I just couldnt get the canopy to fit very well.

Maybe it was just my kit. Bought another one though, its in the whack stack ;)

how did you paint the figure - the vinyl doesnt seem to take paint too well.

Hi Cimmerian,

It´s a resin figure. Read this and check the last picture: link.

The figure is painted with Vallejo acrylics.

Cheers.
