About the Design

Boba Fett’s “Slave 1” appeared for only a few seconds at the tail end of “The Empire Strikes Back,” but its unique lines and unexpected transition from a prone to an upright position made it instantly memorable. The craft would later play a major role in “Star Wars – Episode II: Attack of the Clones” as the primary vehicle of Boba’s father, Jango Fett, and return again decades later in the Disney+ streaming series, "The Mandalorian."

About the Kit

MPC’s 1:85 scale Slave 1 was designed to be displayed in its upright flight position.  It featured moveable steering vanes and a tiny Boba Fett figure in its cockpit.

First released in 1982, the kit was long off the market until it was re-released by AMT/Ertl in 1995 and again in 2005, each time with new box art.

This model was built from an original MPC issue.
