Are these the greatest kits EVER, or what? I absolutely cannot get over how good these kits are, quality and price-wise! Small as they are (1:72) the level of detail is astounding! I am currently working on a few TIE Interceptors, and with a Slave I coming out (tentatively) next month, I am SO a happy camper!
And Kudos to Hobbylink Japan for offering the kits to us Yanks!
I too was really impressed. When I built my x-wing, I was astounded that such a good sci-fi kit was produced. Fit was perfect and what really struck me was the attention paid to engineering the kit for easy assembly.
They are indeed excellent kits!
Finemolds kits are excellent! I have the TIE fighter and the Jedi Starfighter kits. Amazing detail in such a small scale.
I bought the x-wing kit for 30 (english) and was so impressed i started accurizing an old (small scale) ertl jobbie according to it. The molding is so crisp and the detail amazing. I’m waiting for the next releases after slave 1 with baited breath, can’t wait to see what they are. (anyone know anything on this front btw?)

RUMOR ( and that’s all they are at this point, nothing from Japan yet- DANG those people are stubborn! LOL) has it that it might be a Y-wing, or something else from the Rebel side. They like to alternate.
Personally, I see a falcon coming next year, IF they make enough money from a larger scale kit like the Slave I…
Great kits, I have two X-Wings, a TIE Fighter and a Jedi Fighter. Can’t say enough good things about them.
They also do superb WW2 Japanese armor kits. I have several, the Type 3 Medium tank, Type 94 and Type 95 tanks. Superbly done armor kits.
Guys, get the TIE Interceptor. It is a little better than the first TIE, especially the wing panels. The cockpit builds up the same, but it has a few different details on it, so it’s not the same!
And DON’T DROP the pilot on the carpeted floor! UGH.
