Well I got my ARC-170 and built it today, and I must say I wasnt impressed. The minikits I got, and the other easykits I have got were much better. This has gaps where it doesnt fit together properly, many badly aligned parts, and just general cheapness.

It is also nothing like the same scale as the jedi starfighters I have. I was hoping it would be at least close to the same, so I could have them in a display together. The starfighters are almost as big as the ARC-170. They should be half that

@w0bbl3r I believe i had seen a smaller version of the ARC-170 Starfighter not too long ago, probably might be worth looking up if you have a moment to look it up.

@doctorwhoone In the exact same revell easykit line?

I have only seen the one I bought. I must admit I was a little dubious when it was the same cost as the jedi starfighters I bought, when the ARC-170 is much bigger than them, but for the price I thought what the hell.

When I was building it, I again thought (in a very different way) WHAT THE HELL?

Not a good kit, sorry to say.

Thanks for the info, I will check and see if there is a different size kit out there right now.

Cheers

@w0bbl3r I might have been mistaken when i said i thought i'd seen a small version of the ARC-170 Starfighter, might have confused it with the smaller X-Wing, my mind sometimes plays tricks on me, happens to all of us every now and then.

@doctorwhoone Just checked the revell site (all in german, not great to find your way around), and can only find one easykit, and one easykit pocket for the arc-170.

Judging from the sizes, and the sizes it says the original ships are supposed to be, it looks like even the pocket kits of the jedi starfighters would be too big, just by a little.

@w0bbl3r If i can find the actual English version of the site, i'll send you a Personnal Message with it.

I am currently waiting for my ARC-170 easy kit, and I already have both jedi starfighters from rots. Are they all scaled to each other correctly? I want to get this, and then get a couple of X-wings and tie fighters, have a big flying display of them, but only if they are all to the same scale. Its hard to tell from the specs. I measured the specs of the falcon and x-wings, and it seems about right, but until you see them next to each other its hard to tell for sure.

How do yours looks together?

@w0bbl3r All easy Kits vary in size, normally if they have Pilots with them then you can compare the size of the Pilots.

The Falcon i reviewed on this Video goes in scale with the smaller X-Wing and TIE Interceptor Easy Kits, and possible the Naboo Royal Starfighter and Episode II Jedi Starfighter Easy Kits as well.

Happy collecting : D

@doctorwhoone Thanks. Not bothered about putting prequel kits with sequel kits. I want my X-wings to go with tie fighter and falcon kits, and I will get vulture droids and tri fighters for my jedi starfighters and arc-170s. Thats the best way. I do the same with my lego star wars kits (I LOVE lego star wars), keeping prequel kits together and sequel kits together.

So for now as long as the falcon and x--wings are in scale that will do me.

Thanks for the quick response, really helpful

I just bought the Revell easy kit X-Wing. It really is a easy kit, but really fun to do. I mainly do military models, but had to stear away for a bit to take a break. I need to find more of these Revell easy kits. Awesome review. Thumbs up!

Thank you very much . Ive had this Airfix Spit-Fire Model since Christmas last Year and i still havint built the bloody thing . Annoyingly , it doesint come with any Decals which should be included . I guess i could just paint the Model and then attempt to paint what the Decals look like i guess .

Thanks for watching = )

@doctorwhoone I ran into a similiar problem with my Revell P-51 Mustang. It didn't have decalls so I watched movies, and looked on google for images. Took some painters tape, and drew out the decal. Then cut it out, and taped the "template/decal" to the body, and sprayed it.

Thats a very good idea . I might try that , thanks .

@doctorwhoone No problem.
