Darth Vader Tie fighter studio scale

[BenCozine]

I am thinking about buying a 1/24 Darth Vader Tie fighter, korbanth Sabers has one but I know nothing about them. Is this a high quality kit? Does it have any problems I need to know about? Is there a better option?

Thanks!!!

I can not speak of the Tie Fighter but I did get the 1/24 B-Wing from them. They delivered it in a timely manner. They also sent parts out later at my request for ones that were missing from the original shipment.

The casting on my B-Wing kit is not great but it is a lot better than some kits that I have received by others in the past. The B-Wing kit I received will take a little extra time for me to get it where it needs to be. Last I knew, the B-Wing is not available as it is being retooled.

I have seen finished builds of the Vader Tie Fighter and they look amazing. I would love to get one some day. The only complaint I can remember reading are that the wings can be a pain to get angled/aligned just right.

If you get the kit, please post a work in progress thread as I would love to see it.

The attached photo is from Korbanth Sabers site when the B-Wing kit was still available for sale.

The Nice-N TIE X-1 is very good if it is available. You can read a build log here about the whole experience, and the gotchas.

I can't find it anywhere.

Plus I have read on several sites this company has issues with paint/primer adhesion.

Heres the build thread for vector zero's Advanced Tie build. Have a good read. You should find all the info you need.

I never seem to have the time to build stuff although I spend a lot of time here living vicariously.... Being a perfectionist by nature I’ve been caught in the loop that by the time I’ve got the time to create my ‘grail collection’ of Studio Scale Star Wars ships, it will take me so long to...

I've built a couple of Nice-N kits, before I laid any primer or paint, I gave them a blast of Adhesion Aid car spray from a rattle can,....I use Hycote brand

No issues after that

The word 'here' in my post is a hyperlink to the thread which Andy (Flyscriber) has reposted above. It actually doesn't show up too clearly but it is there. Anyhoo the Nice-N does come up well once you resolve the adhesion issues.

Very nice, subscribed!!!


So I recieved the Darth Vader Tie fighter from korbanth Sabers today, here are a few quick photos. I have never built a resign model before so I hope this kit is all in order and a quality product.

Make sure to do a parts inventory. Not sure if korbanth has sorted it out already, but kits had been going out missing many parts.

Make sure to wash thoroughly... A bit of straightening to do though...
