OOB Review: SS TIE Fighter 3/4 Assemblage

This is an Out-of-Box Review of Cory Harvey's 1/24 Studio Scale Imperial Fighter Craft. You may recognize it from 'that film' from 32 years ago. ;)

This is the first casting sold out of a run of ten. The masters may be sold to another caster who would turn the model into a regular, open run, but that remains to be seen. If not, then this was it. All ten went within the day.

I think the tiles on the wings- the fact they are uneven looks good. Individually laid, extra detail to pick up when filming. Freakin cool model tho! cannot wait....

Yeah, I agree after thinking about it. It was more of a note than any form of disappointment. I expect once the satin black goes down, that will all but disappear.

After a week of sitting around, I re-boxed it last night to go on the shelf.  I miss staring at it already, but it took up huge space as was.

I've likely got some stupendous news about this kit I will be sharing later on. Nothing is definite-definite yet.

Hey Tom,

I understand your excitement!

When I first saw the T.I.E. fighters appear in Star Wars "A New Hope" I was smitten.

I was rather young at the time, but was struck by the unconventionality of the craft!

I was pretty excited when AMT released their T.I.E. fighters model kit in the early-ish 90's?

But they were too small for my liking.

The FineMolds kit is awesome, but still very small.

Anywho, that looks like a great kit, and I am happy for ya!

:)

As always, Tom; a fantastic review! This kit is a beauty, can't wait to watch you build this one up; I'm nearly as excited as you are, lol !!
