BANDAI Hobby Star Wars 1/72 X-Wing Red Squadron (Special Set), Multicolor

Bandai makes the most precise model kits. Both their Gundam and Star Wars lines are well done. I really have nothing bad to say about any of these kits I have bought.A couple of notes for those thinking of buying these for children:1.) They are fairly easy to put together, especially for a child that is into hobby building like Legos or glue-together models. But I highly recommend plastic snips.2.) The ships snap together, but a few of the pieces (like the laser cannons on the X-Wing are fairly fragile. Also the cockpit window tends to fall off easily, so you may want to glue it.3.) The model ships with both adhesive and water decals. Water decals look more authentic, but the adhesive decals should be easier for a child to put on.

Good price, nice detail.

Really well made, all parts fit each other perfectly. No glue needed. This is one of the best and easiest to assemble model I had.

Bandai makes wonderfully engineered model kits with remarkably crisp & clean detail, and the parts require virtually no cleanup. Glue is not required, but I would suggest it in some areas. The model is supplied with both stickers and water-slide decals, so use whatever is appropriate to your skill level. The sheer number of decals is daunting, but does help add a lot of character to the model.The buildups I’ve pictured were not painted. Instead, a thin black wash of black acrylic paint was applied, then gently wiped off with a damp paper towel. This helps the paint mix settle into the recesses and enhance the detail.

I bought this model after reading Bandi was known for its injected color molding. I took this to mean more than one color. Will not buy Bandi again.

Bought this to see how my 5yo would do with models. We were able to assemble it without glue or paint and it looks great and is sturdy enough for a careful 5yo to fly around the house.

I haven't put it together yet, but it looks great! Opened the box and it looks super detailed! So excited for it!Also, I wasn't sure when I bought it, but it does come with a 1:72 model as well as a 1:144 model.Edit: I put it together! It was a great few hours! Yes, this will keep you busy for at least a couple hours. There are SMALL PIECES so make sure you've put a couple others together before this to get some practice!

Really great detail. Perfect size for desk figurine. This was my first build in over 20 years and I probably spent 8 hours on it. The stickers / painting / weathering took the longest. The actual build snapping things together took maybe 3.Really happy the way it came out, excited to do more ! Btw this is the 1/72 model pictured. Saving the smaller one for a rainy day.Note: be VERY careful with the 4 blasters. I was very cautious and one one of mine still snapped - had to glue it then put a sticker around the break.
