It seems a lot of the gags were based on the escapades of real life musicians
You often hear in interviews how so and so would say that the one scene was based on them.
For example, Nigel looks an awful lot like Jeff Beck at that time. So much so that Beck had made some comments about it...
It is quite possible Bandai opted for "box scale"
i.e. maybe for some reason, scaling the pilot to 1/72 would require a slightly larger model which might have pushed the sprue size just a bit larger, or required breaking up larger parts into smaller parts to fit a desired sprue dimension and...
Great info
So if the SS B-Wing is 1/32, and the drop tank are proportionally accurate as far as shape, then at 1/72 the drop tanks on the Banda kit should be 1/72 scale exactly and should match a 1/72 F-14 models tank assuming it is also proportionally correct for 1/72 scale
The 1/00 MPC drop...
I have been eyeing this. I have heard from some friends I trust that it is either something you totally love or something you rabidly hate
Not much middle ground
This is probably one of the biggest impact ones for me since Freddie Mercury and Dio
I have loved all his various bands as long as I can remember
At least he got to go out surrounded by family
The MPC B-Wing is pretty small and around 1/100 to even as small as 1/144 scale depending on whether you scale from the filming model or life size cockpit set
I have built one of these, and this is the relative size of the pilot to the MPC cockpit
and here is the relative size of the pilot...
