                        Would love to see pics of that one.  I hope they sell these kits in Australia.  I had to get the Revell Obi Wan snap together one from Japan.

                        Does it also have the purple Mace Windu option as seen in the Clone Wars Cartoon series.  That is the one I would like to build.

                        Does this fighter represent the second fighter Obi-wan flew when he when and fought General Grievous? On Cult TV man site there are pics of a blue and green version. I like the grey. I'd like to do a black one to represent a sort of post Episode III version for Vader. I went to Walmart yesturday but they didn't have any so I am going to have to check one of the other local Walmarts. We have three! Again nice job!

                        Well lets see, the kit is comprised of the hull halves and the clear canopies are in plastic and there are 3 different head rests because obi-wans is different than Anakins and 3 different solar wings, because they are different too, it went together well and all the panel lines are deep and are easy to enhance with a wash, the cockpit is good it has a lot of detail and could use some extra wires and hoses.

                        Looks cool, good job on the build!  I'm an aircraft guy, but I sneek over here every once in a while to marvel at the really neat stuff!  Now where did I put that Episode III CD.......

                        Yeah it wasnt too bad, the canopies must be left off until your done painting unless your good at masking, the kit is about as simple  as you can get without being snap tite.

                        Very impressive work. Good job on that one. Smile [:)]

                        The kit itself seems nice too. How was it to build?

                        Looks real nice.  Very effective weathering.  ( cna something that flies in outer space be 'weathered'?  Hmm, something to ponder)

                        ETA 2 Finished!
                        Posted by stipp on Saturday, January 21, 2006 9:47 AM

                        hey people, I have finally finished the AMT ETA 2 from Star Wars Episode 3.

                        I ran into a few problems, one: I used rubber cement as a mask and when i sprated it onto my canopy the paint and rubber had a chemical reaction and "crazed" the clear, but I was able to vacuum form another canopy.

                        two: i used the mig pigments to weather the model and was ready to clear coat it, and for some stupid reason I got too close to the model and blew the chalk all over the model and had to strip the paint and clear off and repaint and reweather it once more.
