We've all gone through the frustration of the poor fit and lack luster detail phase of the original Star Wars model kits, myself included.
This re-pop of the MPC / ERTL kit released by Round 2 addresses a lot of the fit issues and lack of detail which was obvious on the original kit.
Parts fit a whole lot better, detail has been added to represent a more accurate studio prop version and they even updated the tiny Darth Vader pilot figure, he no longer looks like a melted blob of plastic.
The model instruction sheet still builds much like the older kit so nothing has changed in that area.
Nice touch with the box art keeping it retro like the original however, as a visual aid, Round 2 included photo's of the upgraded areas and parts on the back of the box so the builder gets a small preview of what's included.
Even with all it's faults, I still loved the original kit as a kid and it's awesome to see this classic kit treated with new and improved parts after all these years.
Highly recommended!
Very detailed and great scale for larger dioramas
