The desire to build your own piece of Star Wars history often fails due to a lack of equipment. You hold the kit in your hands, but without the right glue or specific paints, the box often remains unopened. With this starter kit, that obstacle is a thing of the past. You receive a carefully curated complete package that provides everything you need to dive straight into the Clone Wars. Whether as a gift for a young Padawan or a relaxing project for yourself – the focus here is on immediate building fun without the frustrating search for accessories.
Features
- Everything included: The set comes directly with the matching Aqua Color basic colors, a brush and the Contacta tube adhesive.
- Legendary duo: The cockpit is authentically populated with the pilot figure of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the astromech droid R4-P17.
- Easy to start: With 21 parts and level 3, you can quickly achieve an impressive result, ideal for hobbyists aged 10 and up.
- Perfect dimensions: The finished model measures 10 cm in length and therefore fits perfectly into any collection.
- Attention to detail: Despite its compact size, the kit impresses with fine engravings and a true-to-life reproduction of the weaponry.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is known for not actually liking flying – but when he's in the cockpit of this Eta-2 starfighter, he's one of the best pilots in the galaxy. This model captures that exact feeling. You'll be building the very aircraft seen above Coruscant in the dramatic opening scenes of "Revenge of the Sith".
Thanks to the manageable number of parts, assembly is pleasant and motivating. The included paints allow you to give the hull the characteristic dark red paint job that distinguishes Obi-Wan's fighter from Anakin's yellow model. It's a compact project that gives you the satisfaction of having created an iconic spaceship with your own hands.
Background information
Like his apprentice Anakin, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi also relied on the Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor. This ship represents the technological pinnacle of the Republic era: it is smaller, lighter, and significantly more maneuverable than its predecessors. To achieve this performance, heavy shields and an internal hyperdrive were omitted, making the pilot almost entirely dependent on the Force and the support of his astromech droid. The R4-P17 shown here (recognizable by its red dome) was Obi-Wan's faithful companion on many missions, until that fateful mission over Coruscant.
