Hi guys

I bought a couple of the old Ravenwing battleforces a few years ago, these contained the old landspeeder models. The older landspeeders are harder to assemble and do not contain all the options such as under slung weapons.

Has anybody bought the new Ravenwing battleforce released last month? Do you know if it has the old landspeeder still or the newer one?

Thanks

Probably the same.

It's the new one.

I had the old one as well. Worst modelling experience I've had in a long time. The new ones are so easy to put together.

Good to hear its the newer one, thanks.

Off to buy a bunch then...

I've built quite a few of the older land speeders - the only difficult part is making sure the top and bottom halves glue together tightly so you don't have gaps in the hull. The easiest way to do this is to hold it together tightly for about 3-4 minutes while the glue dries. I had the same issue building wave serpents. Hold together tightly seems to work.

Agreed, I have rubber bands and wood clamps for that reason.

And as last resort, just paint the poor joins as hull buckling from battle damage.

I’ve got a third old LS I still need to assemble. Never put together a new one
