It's been out for a few weeks. Starship Modeler had them in stock last week. The pictures are available on Hobbylink.com.

Really???

I have been looking on eBay and all I find is Jango's. I would have figured if they would be out they would all over eBay.

Thanks...

I just ordered one, If they have been out this long already I just CANNOT believe that no one has posted anything about them....

I mean come on, it's the ESB Slave1 for crying out load. :lol
All we had up until now was the AMT/Ertl one.

This is my first Fine Molds purchace BTW.

Ive been woring on mine since it came out. Making both versions actually. The kit is almost perfect. The only bad thing is the seam line down the senter of the main hull. Otherwise, like all Finemolds kits, it's perfect.

I just ordered one this morning. I've gotten the email about it shipping today too. I'm hoping the ones from SSM still have the Han in Carbonite. At the begining of the month they still did.

I just got my FM MF and Revell-Germany Republic SD in the mail today. Even in the Slave I is only half as good as either of these kits it will be great.

If you've never seen a FM kit up close I would recommend having a spare set of trousers ready.

Not that it will make much of a difference to the highly-skilled members of this forum (who will want to custom paint their Slave 1s anyway), but I think the Boba Slave 1 is the first of Fine Mold's Star Wars kits that does not include decals to simulate the ship's paint job.

I would love to see some progress pics you have if you can.
Does it give a color paint chart/guide for it as far as what colors to use??

I almost got a Code3 Slave1, but that things is nice for a collectable, but after I started looking at it more in detail it was not what I wanted other then the size.

I'm glad I got this kit.

I got my ESB Slave1, it came with the metal Han in Carbonite, very nice kit..

FM did a really nice job on it. I'm very impressed with it and it is much better then the AMT/Ertl kit by far.

I can't wait to start this puppy.

Did you get your 1/72-scale Han in Carbonite? It's pretty sweet. But don't let the cat get ahold of him.

 

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Yep, I got the HIC.
cats can loose stuff never to been seen again in seconds.
What's with the funkey yellow markings? Are they supposed to be battle damage or paint wear?

I just got my ESB Slave I today. Mine came with the Han in Carbonite as well. Nice touch. Another great kit from Fine Molds.

How close to studio scale is the model? It would be worth it to me if it was larger than the tiny ATM/ERTL model.

 

[cobywan]

It's 1/72nd. NOWHERE near studio scale. But you could use the kit to identify parts.

sorry to dig up such an old thread, but does anyone have any pics of their finished or in progress models? I would love to see them if you do.

I've posted this on here before, but always happy to show it dust it off again..

wow, that looks great. How does the cockpit work? Does it rotate like the EMT?
