ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
Continuing the tradition that
began in "The Phantom Menace" of equipping the Trade
Federation Separatists with robotic fighting machines, this nasty
little fighter was completely droid-driven. Worse yet, it was
equipped with missile-launched "buzz-droids," parasitic robots that
attached themselves to enemy vessels and proceeded to tear them apart much
like the old "Twilight Zone's" airline-wrecking gremlins. The Droid Tri-Fighter appeared only briefly in "Revenge of the Sith" in the spectacular Battle Over Courscant sequence that opened the film. |
This pre-painted "snap" kit was released by Revell of Germany in late April 2005, but has been unavailable in the United States where AMT/Ertl has the lone license for "Star Wars" model kits. The kit is one of six that Revell released in Europe in conjunction with "Revenge of the Sith." The model has been given an enamel "wash" to bring out the details. This model was built from an original issue. |
