One of my nephews however Good God man…how old ARE you?? 69 and 3/4's if you must know. I saw the first 3 films and thought they were quite good, but never "got into it". Not seen any of the others I'm afraid. Should I go and stand at the back of the class ?
Find it a tad annoying that the Star Wars releases, the Mandalorian Razor Crest and Outland TIE Fighter and the Boba Fett ship (renamed, no longer Slave 1) are all in different scales. 1/72 for Razor Crest but box scale 1/56 and 1/87 respectively for the other two. Would have been nice to have all 3 in 1/72.

I just don’t get why not go with established scales.

Going by what I've seen online it's only in the last five years that new Star Wars kits have begun to adhere to the regular scales. Hence the (even modified) TIE being weird but the Razor Crest being 1/72. Likewise the old AT-AT and AT-ST kits were odd scales but the recent Bandai ones are standardised.
Quick question. Does anyone have the Revell vintage/fit the box-scale B-57B, and if so can they confirm the kit is 1/80 scale and the fuselage length is just over 9 inches, please? Happy for a metric value, will convert.
