FAQs

What does 'Level 3' difficulty mean?

Revell's Level 3 indicates a moderately complex kit, typically requiring some prior model-building experience. It involves more parts, finer details, and potentially more challenging assembly steps compared to Level 1 or 2 kits.

Can I use different paints or glues?

Yes, you can use other model paints and glues. However, the included Revell Aqua Color paints are water-based and generally easier to clean up. Ensure any alternative glue is suitable for plastic models.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time can vary greatly depending on individual skill and dedication, but typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours for painting and construction.

Is this model pre-painted?

No, the model parts are molded in color but require painting with the included paints to achieve the authentic movie appearance. Painting is a crucial step in the model-building process.

What are 'S-foils'?

S-foils refer to the 'Stabilizer Foil' wings on the X-Wing Fighter, which can be positioned in attack or flight mode. This model allows for movable S-foils.

What is the scale of the model?

The model is built to a 1:57 scale, meaning that 57 of these models would equal the size of the real-life X-Wing Fighter.

Are batteries required for this model?

No, this is a static model kit and does not require batteries. It is purely for assembly and display.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together correctly

Ensure you have removed all plastic 'flash' or excess material from the part edges. Double-check the part number and orientation against the instructions before applying glue.

Glue is not holding parts securely

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Apply a small, consistent bead of glue. For stubborn connections, consider using a stronger plastic cement, though this may affect paint finishes.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Ensure the brush is clean and properly loaded with paint. Stir paints well before use.

Decals are not adhering or tearing

Apply decals to a smooth, painted surface. Use decal setting solutions (sold separately) for better adhesion and to eliminate air bubbles. Handle decals gently with tweezers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  • The included paints are water-based and compatible with Revell plastic models.

Care:
