Revell (Bandai original) 01201 Star Wars TIE Fighter 1:72 Scale Unbuilt/Pre-coloured/Clip-Together (Non-Glue) Plastic Model Kit with Display Base

This is an excellent kit that allows you to build a detailed model of the classic TIE Fighter from the Star Wars films. The kit goes together well and includes a display stand for the model. Recommended.

For Star wars models there is just Bandai.Dont be tempted with the cheaper Revell ones. These are of a much higher quality and are a joy to build and paint.

Another great Revell “ Bandai” kit, accurate to the film!Easy to press fit most parts except very small ones, especially be careful with the outer wing edges, the lower hatch I fitted to the stand, painted with “Acrylic paint” on a Matt finish enamel spray

Fantastic bit of kit. Highly recommend for any model maker or star wars fan !!!!

It looks like there is some confusion between the Bandai version andthe Revell version of TIE fighter kits.Let me put the recorded straight:Although the Bandai versions of Star Wars kits may say Revell somewhere on the box they are nowhere like the full blown Revell versions.The Revell TIE fighter says 1/65 scale on the box and the model is way bigger than the Bandai 1/72 version, which is probably estimated as the 'real' things are fictional machines (yup, sorry to piss on true SW fans party, but they're not real). Yeah I was disappointed too.Also the Revell TIE fighter comes pre-coloured and very well moulded which is pretty good for a Revell Easy kit, at least limited edition version is anyhow, plus you get a poster, glue, paintbrush and 6 dubious looking little pots of paint.However the pre-painted wing panels look very good anyhow.The Bandai 1/72 TIE fighter kit is a lot smaller than Reveals and also comes pre-coloured (sort of), well its molded in grey and black with the clear windows obviously.Both kits have optional clear fluorescent laser beams if you want to add them, but they look pretty lame to me.All in all, both kit versions of the TIE fighter are very good actually, quite a bit better than the MPC ERTL kits that came out in the 1980's just after the film came out (Although the R2 D2 and C3PO were decent for the time).To be honest, the Bandai kits are good but overpriced if you ask me, but well detailed and moulded.The Revell kits are surprisingly good, also well detailed and molded but larger, so the Revell version wins my personal vote.

Great item love it, detail is amazing

Fixes together brilliantly and looks amazing!

Good quality, I enjoyed making the model.
