What the postman brought today (Modelgeek)

The turbo laser tower scales out very nicely with the 1/144 scale Bandai Xs, Ys and TIEs. I’ve seen a couple of nice trench builds with them.

Yeah the turbo laser is a great addition to the A-wing. There is a Death Star attack set that has lots of tiles, all the different ones from kits, to make up a small trench run section and a 1/144th x-wing, hard to come by for a good price now here in the UK.

Now have the Bandai Y-wing. Having the A,B,X and Y really appeals to the completionism side of my psyche, all the rebel starfighters from the original trilogy and always reminds me of my Xbox controller!

From the instructions it hinted at a special boxing that had two extra parts. I think that might be AMK-002 with the Iwata printed box.

Cool and funny looking kit. Included electronics in a kit is always a plus for me.

I agree. I have a few stalled projects with various electronic lighting including doing one from scratch.

A buddy did a lighted Bandai Tie Fighter and I had the old Amt/Ertl kit sitting around. I am using his electrical design and parts recommendations. I also have the Amt/Ertl Darth Vader Tie Fighter with a light kit from eBay and finally a BSG Mark II with somebody’s extra lighter bits.

Some parts and one example wired up.

That is a great idea.

The wife dragged me to Hobby Lobby and was shocked when it was 40% off plastic that I bought some kits. :man_shrugging::crazy_face:

Already had an R2 unit but I saw this guy the other day

and well you know….watching Book of Boba Fett didn’t help the will power.
