My eight year old son recently spotted a Star Wars kit in my stash and enthusiastically asked if he could build it. It’s a SnapTite kit so I happily agreed. This kit has been out for a while but has recently been re-released by Revell so I decided to chronicle the build as a consultant/observer. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of construction and the good overall quality of this kit. My son was easily able to follow the instructions and assemble the kit by himself. The best part was that he was pleased with the results and gained more confidence as a model builder even when I tossed in some intermediate finishing techniques to try out. For any youngster – this is a great kit for them to build.

For the Modeler: Some attention to removing sprues and some minor flash are about all the added work needed to make this a kit that a youngster can be proud of. The addition of some blackwash for bringing out the detail and adding a little “battle-tested” appearance just helped to bolster the aura of this model. There’s a couple spots that don’t snap together just right so keep a little glue handy straighten that out along the way.  For the Star Wars fans – this would be a nice addition to your collection.
