Fine Molds 1/35th X-Wing.
When I found out that Finemolds were releasing a 1/35th X-Wing I almost crapped myself with excitement, just couldn't wait to get one. Forbidden Planet in Dublin got some in but the price was €249 yeah thats almost $300 U.S. I could under no circumstances justify that kinds price for a kit.
I go into the store regularly as its on the way to the pub. I was in there a couple of weeks ago and looked up at the X-Wing I had always wanted and had to look twice, was this price sticker right, €89. Oh, Yeah Baby, that I can afford and it will be a great birthday present as I turned 40 last week. Plus I was saving €160.
The best way to describe this kit to anybody who does not know what its about is simple.
- It's a prepainted kit produced jointly by Finemolds, ArtFX and Kotobuyika.
- The kit is based on a 3D cut away drawing which I think is based on the Dorling Kindersley book.
- The kit assembles up from a kinda of chassis and can be stripped down after assembly to show off different sections.
- The kit comes with Diorama of the hangar on Yavin 4 with figures and equiptment.
It assembles quite easily into a beautiful display piece.
