A few months back I built the Bandai 1/48 Xwing that comes with LEDS and some wing action. Enjoyed every minute of the build due to its well known quality and detail. Naturally I wanted a Tie Fighter too, its archenemy. Sadly Bandai does not offer any such model in 1/48 scale.....bummer. So decided to get a Revell (FineMolds) kit. Build it recently and added some lighting too. When side by side both models look great in my eyes. Was surprised when someone here said that the FineMolds kits look like melted cheese when compared to Bandai. Not in my experience! Here are some side by side pics of these iconic ships.

I tried to give the images kind of a cinematic look. Hope you like and would love to hear your opinions about melted cheese! LOL!
