Just got mine today - first thought on opening.... Why is the box so big?? It will fit in one literally half the size!
Second thought - WHY have they bothered with the paints and brush? Seriously who is gong to use those?
Still, I'm happy 8-D
I have seen three types of white LEDs. They are Warm White (yellowish tint), Sun White (not quite as yellow), and then Cool White (bluish tint). I think a build utilizing all three would be interesting along with the occasional red LED fiber thrown in with the majority being the Warm White.
Hmmm.....I have all of those except the Sun White....
I think the first seller i bought from mistakenly sent me plain "white" , "natural white" or "neutral white" LEDs..
Here they are next to a true warm white micro-SMT led..

Robiwon hooked me up with this seller that delivered the warm white color that i wanted.

I also ordered Cool White LEDs for the hanger..definitely more blueish.. here is what they look like for reference.. not as blue in person as in the picture though..

Well, to be fair, it's why everywhere else that I've mentioned this, I've been careful to say 'if accuracy to the studio model is what you're after'. Because, yeah, absolutely, the impression from the films you'd get is that they're blue, no question. Also wanted to say, I love how much weathering you managed to get on your build - still looks absolutely right, but gives you more depth and visual interest. Love it!Hey if at any point the engines appeared blue in the screen, then my build is indeed screen accurate!
Good. Maybe it is too early to be in the ordering system.Revell U.S. has the model in their current second and third quarters of 2017 releases flyer.

You are the lucky guys who can officially buy the Bandai kits! We in Germany only have the crappy Revell kits. And the Zvezda-SD in Revell boxing was out of stock so quickly that most of us didn't have the chance to buy one either.
