Fine Molds Tie Interceptor.
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 19, 2003 9:29 PM
Just got back from the LHS and noticed that the Fine Molds Tie Interceptor was in stock.

Kit looks the same as the Tie-Fighter except for the Wings of course, cockpit seems to be identical after a quick peek.

I actually went there to get the new "Spray work painting stand set", the set consits of 2 rotating bases one with a turntable the other with a spring holder/Body stand for Car Bodies or similar.

Always wanted a cheap turntable for spray-painting and Tamiya has listened.

That is a nice stand set, ain't it?

The TIE Interceptor ain't bad, either!

If only Fine Molds would do an Imperial Star Destroyer or a Super Star Destroyer! Approve [^] I would also be happy if they did a Victory class star destroyer

Yep, it is nice. I like Tamiya and Wave for things like this.
Wave got the motorised paint-stirrer out recently, now I don't have to order it anymore form the states.

Nice kit, I prefer the design over the Tie Fighter. Might get it, fist I need to see how much Mandarake will empty my wallet over New Year.

Sorry, not allowed to tell what I heard will come after the Slave I.

A friend that deals directly with Fine Molds has dropped some very strong hints.

2.200 Yen( Tie Interceptor) - Shop discount which can be anything from 5 ~ 20%(10% being the norm).

You can always check HLj or R10 for the list price, nobody is supposed to sell above that price.

Of course price is relative to income and other expenditures like rent, groceries, etc.

Just saw the TIE Interceptor for 1,900 yen (about $17 USD) today. Nice price!

C'mon, MMF!
What did your buddy say??? Please don't make me wait till May (and Shizuoka)!

Grrr....that is killing me. I can see at least three sitting on my shelves. If any of those three is built, I am hoping most for the Super Star Destroyer to be built. Wink [;)]

I'd like to see their take on the Millenium Falcon...of course, I'd expect it to probably cost $200 by the time it made it to the States.

Let's see... a 1/72 scale Super Star Destroyer. That should work out to about 400 feet in length. Let's pray it's not a one-piece hull! :)

In all seriousness, even at 1/1000 scale, like the Polar Lights Enterprise, that monster would still be 30 feet long! So, for practicality sake, say all the star destroyers were done in 1/10,000 scale. The Executor would be 1 meter long. The Millenium Falcon would be the size of this... O TIE fighters would be too small to model without a microscope.

Yes, I would love to build an imperial assault fleet at 1/10000 scale. The same scaled ROTJ Death Star would be over 250 feet in diameter. Maybe I'd just go with a photo of it in the back ground? : )

It doesn't have to be to scale. I'd settle for a kit of the Executor if it was at least the same size as the old Ertl Star Destroyers. I'm just wanting the opportunity to build an SSD.
