Bandai 1/12 C3P0 LED eyes

[Shiva71]

Hi
Just found this, managed to get a single diode into the head of a Bandai 1/12 C3PO. I have a matching R2D2, that would be cool to get him lit up too
Both these models are from Aliexpress, branded as Nuclear Models but they seem identical to the Bandai, they are really good quality.
Thanks for looking!

Very cool.
I wish I had the skill to add LEDs to my kits, but with my multiple hobbies I've been stubborn about not jumping into another "branch" of the hobby that requires learning a new intricate skill.

I know that's so lazy, and seeing posts like this makes me want to leap so much.

Love it.

Well - not identical, as such. They're unauthorized Chinese copies of the Bandai kits.

Yeah it took a bit of filing inside to create the space, the diode was cut from a roll/strip LED...pretty fiddly but it managed it

Ok, but like i say these are really good quality, theres a C3PO, R2D2 (which comes with a R5) and a trooper, prices are good but shipping is expensive...

When I did mine I found that the eyes were too bright so I had to add more resistors to drag it down. I can’t tell from the picture if you’re having that issue or not

You can buy pre-wired led kits, just hook a battery or other dc source and off to the races. Easy peasy and knock your skills up a notch!

It's a total clone ripoff of the Bandai kit even the box and instructions are identical Lol.

I very much prefer Droins.

BB-22-R2-D2 was my favorite astromch droin.

These are not the droins you are looking for....

Sadly, BB-22 is from that parallel universe where the sequel trilogy makes sense.
