Is it worth $65? Retail accounts all over the world are getting allocated on the releases of this flyer, come see what’s inside the box!
I tell you what, even though the new flyer is slightly smaller than the Stormraven itself (and about $20 cheaper) don’t let that fool you – it’s a pretty neat kit.
Sure this two sprue kit (same as the Stormtalon) doesn’t have a clear canopy or as many moving parts as it’s bigger brother, it does have some other nifty features!
First Look Features:
- The Blackstar’s flight stem can be adjusted to be completely horizontal, or at a 45 degree angle for strafing runs!
- It’s back chaff launchers also moves along with the wingtip VTOL thrusters.
- There is no interior detail present, although the back hatch can be opened.
- The front =I= hatches are part of a bigger panel assembly and not removable or able to be opened.
- It also has several flight flaps that can be positioned up or down, as well as optional top mounted accessories.
Overall I think this kit is a great step in the right direction overall for the hobby, as it seems to be just the right amount of model for just the right price – something I literally have never said before about a GW product.
