Round2 Acquires Star Wars License

And from Jason's Insta:
Newest Maker has said that his files are the ones they used for the tie bomber. Previously he has sold the stl files for printing.
Not an apples to apples shot, but the engines are not very big:
I'm pretty sure Jason will have it right.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The decades of waiting look to be rewarded handsomely! I can take down my Hasbro/Kenner 4" figure ship and finally have a true model with tight details put in it's place. Which means me and the grandsons can actually PLAY with the Hasbro Bomber!StevenBills posted these on Starship Modeller via John Simmons' FB page:
I wonder if that is a print or an actual test shot?
Nice, whats with the bowtie on the cockpit side of the bomber?
I think they're just showing alternate back parts that will be available for building.

It's a resin print, not a styrene build, so the thing will change. I honestly don't know how they will break down the parts - thats for the Chinese factory to decide I guess?
And yeah the engines aren't huge.... Jason Eaton Studio - Landspeeder 1/5 Studio Scale

Would prefer to come with a comment which contains some news, but I just wanna kindly ask if someone has a straight tip for me where to shop for latest AMT/R2 kits on Manhattan or Long island NY. Bit disappointed I couldn't find anything in San Fran. There's maybe a shop in Berkeley but bit too much Outer Rim.
I know R2 lists since sellers on their website but would prefer some solid info by anybody who knows the real offers on location.
But every hint appreciated

The best hobby shop on Long Island is BayShore Hobbies, on Sunrise Hwy at the corner of Saxon Ave, in the Kohls shopping center, in Islip. It’s amazing! And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, the owner, Bob will try his best to get it for you.

Awesome! Thanks for the tips! I'll check out Caboose and Bayshore is just 15 mins away from my location and looks promising. The shop list could need an update I reckon. The listed Hobby company in SF seems closed permanently. I've been in two Target stores but no model kits at all. Just got lucky with the re-release of the Falcon today in a Japantown hobby shop in SF. Decent 73$
