@@EagleSciFiModeler That's too bad it would be great to see your awesome models in person. We will have to make sure we can get it the ATLANTA model con this year.

The bow on that fuselage half. Dear Lord.

Yeah, it wasn't too hard to glue down.

Great build. I have the original two ship release with the incorrect solar panel shape so will probably get one of these too. I like your colour choice. Or color as you are an American and I am a Brit!

Thanks, I wish I would have had an old one to show a comparison. Why do you Brits put an extra U in everything...lol.

Like the colour choices mate, nice one 😉👌

Talk about timing, I’m just about to start my Bandai Tie and this video pops up.

I like the Blue Echo paint! I've used craft paint a few times on projects.

I use craft paint all the time, as as it's thinned and strained properly it works very well.

That's a good looking build! There's not really anything different about the main body from the original AMT dual TIE kit. Even the bow between both halves, LOL. But the updated wings look nice. Round2 claims 1/48, but it's probably closer to 1/51.

Me too!

The AMT/ERTL TIE Fighter kit definitely seems more substantial than the Bandai kits. (You can still get 1/144 scale Bandai Star Wars kits at Hobby Lobby but most of the 1/72 scale kits are LONG gone now except for things like the Rise of Skywalker X-Wing no one wants to seem to buy! I've seen Boba Feet and Mandalorian kits in the last few months, too. Disney Star Wars is DEAD...) If they updated and accuratized the AMT/ERTL tooling, then good for Round 2! That's what most modelers want. They're not going to resolve all the fit issues but at least people will have to spend less time making it LOOK like the film miniatures! I wonder about the Millennium Falcon, though. That is among the worst and least accurate of the AMT/ERTL releases aside from the Death Star which is probably the worst AMT/ERTL release. I don't think anyone's going to top Bandai or FineMolds for mass-market releases of Millennium Falcon model kits... I don't think Round 2 is going to be able to economically fix the AMT/ERTL Falcon mold...

Bandai is teaming up with Revell . I've purchased from Amazon UK a Bandai 1:72 B-Wing kit that had a small Revell sticker on the corner of the box. I also heard that they are doing the same thing with the Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon.

I'm currently working on the cut-out AMT Falcon. Not accurate but a fun kit.

@@EagleSciFiModeler In that case, I don't think accuracy is an issue! They never HAVE figured out volumes very well for most fictional starships! For most ships, the fictional sets wouldn't fit well! The grossest example I can think of is the Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space (original TV series). The main prop showed a ship 2 decks tall but it would never have fit things like the lander or rover inside that full-scale prop they used. I've seen a built-up cut out Falcon in one of your videos. If you're not overly critical about accuracy and fitting all those mechanical parts in, and even the movie SOLO contradicts what we saw of the Millennium Falcon in the original trilogy(!), it's a reasonably nice diorama when it's finished. The completed one you filmed at that convention had working interior lights, too.
