Revell 73608 1/83 ARC-170 Fighter Starter Kit

Star Wars fans often shy away from recreating their favorite spaceships because the hurdle seems too high: What kind of glue do I need? Which paints are the right ones? With the ARC-170 Fighter Starter Kit, we remove these obstacles. You'll receive a perfectly packaged all-in-one kit that allows you to jump right into model building. Whether you're looking for a gift for a young Padawan or want to fill a gap in your own Clone Trooper fleet – here you'll find everything you need to get started and create a piece of the galaxy.

Features

• Ready to use immediately: The set already includes the appropriate basic colors, a brush and tube glue – no need to buy accessories.
• Full crew: Unlike many other models, this one includes three clone trooper pilot figures that bring the model to life.
• Combat mode: The characteristic S-wings can be displayed fanned out to simulate the dynamic attack position.
• Impressive width: With a wingspan of 15.5 cm, the hunter appears very present despite its compact length of 10 cm.
• Detailed technology: Finely crafted engines and authentic weaponry ensure a realistic look.
• Beginner-friendly: With 21 parts and level 3, you can quickly achieve a sense of accomplishment without being overwhelmed by complexity.

The ARC-170 (Aggressive ReConnaissance) isn't just a fighter; it's a flying tank. This model perfectly captures the power and aggressive aesthetics of the original. When you position the S-wings in attack position, you'll immediately recognize the design similarities to the later Rebel Alliance X-wing.

The building process is quick and easy, and thanks to the included Aqua Color paints, you can immediately give the ship the perfect paint job. Painting the three tiny crew members (pilot, co-pilot, and rear gunner) is a great exercise for your fine motor skills. In the end, you'll hold a robust model in your hands, ready to go into battle for the Republic.

Background information

The ARC-170 starfighter was the Republic's heaviest workhorse during the Clone Wars. Built by the Incom Corporation, it is considered the direct technological predecessor of the legendary T-65 X-wing. Unlike the light TIE fighters or Jedi interceptors, the ARC-170 was designed for long-range missions and deep penetrations into enemy territory. Its massive armament and three-man crew made it a formidable opponent. With this model, you can bring home the very ship that covered the flanks of the Jedi Knights in the opening battle of "Revenge of the Sith."
