0:02 I pick up the 14 "Eagle last year. I haven't built it yet but it looks like a great kit. I've ben busy building a Razor Crest , a Red 5 X- Wing and a Sandcrawler diorama of the Lars Homestead. But I can't wait to get to the Eagle.
@@sci-fimodeler1701 My Razor Crest turned out nice. It won Bronze at Wonder Fest, unfortunately I was showing it off to a friend over the weekend and I noticed all my lights in the cargo bay quit working 😭 . Luckily the navigation lights, and the engines are still burning. I'm afraid I would break the model if I was to try to open it up. O-well
That's a good point. I don't know about this kit, but there was always a problem matching up 1/72 and 1/76 scale in dioramas. It was the same with 1/32nd and 1/35.
Actually, I know that the scalemates website says they are 1/96 but that may be only the airfix models. My understanding has always been that the older kit was meant to be 1/72 but was not quite that scale.
Had a look back through all the model reviews & merchandise guides I still have and where a scale was given its always 1/76 up until 2016 when reviews of the reissued kit start giving the scale as 1/72.
I knew UA-cam has many very niche targeted videos but this takes the cake.
I love that people have these passions.
Cheers
such a nice iconic craft

I could be wrong but I always thought the Airfix/MPC Eagle kit was 1/76th scale.

@@xray86delta Actually, its true the old ones were 1:96. The new one is definitely 1/72
