\Last night I snapped together Bandai's new TIE X-1 1/72 kit and I gotta say it's spectacular! Terrific detail (better than Fine Molds -- and that's a high bar) and even snapped together the pieces fit with precise tolerance. Seam lines vanish. They even have detail on the inside of the cockpit hatch that will never be seen unless someone does an open cockpit diorama. It's crazy good. If they do a Falcon -- and, really, why wouldn't they -- it should be amazing. I just hope they avoid Fine Mold's mistakes and get the proportions correct. My dream is a 1/72 replica of the 5-footer with swappable lower hull sections to do either the ANH version or the 5-gear TESB version.
I'll have to add... One of the coolest models I have is a BANDAI enterprise(star trek) .. It's the motion picture version. It was a snap kit, prepainted, and it lights up! They did an awesome paint job on it too...freaking amazing.
