Sorry, I was referring to the bandai fighter kits. I think that they are 1/72 for the most part.
Yeah they are.
On an Epic Scale Table you could have cool dogfights with a half dozen of these very nice Bandai models.
It would be like playing X-Wing with all Large ships. The Garmillas planes are coming out this year...
I'll probably be hitting Hobby Search for some Cosmo fighters soon.
I should have a few of the Garmillas fighter, bombers, & torpedo planes when I get some of the 1/1000 ships to tide me over if they're going to be coming out. IIRC they're included as bonus 'gimme shinies' in some sets. Although I'd better hurry and start getting them in before Armada steals what little extra money I have...
On a related note, I think a SB Yamato / SW Armada crossover game might be pretty interesting...
Edited by gaeritheWouldnt last long. SW ships may be a lot larger but they dont really stand a chance against the usual EDF cannon.And that is without the Wave motion gun

There are some fine toys coming out for sure.
Oh, I might of made a mistake above, I think.
The Garmillas Planes are in the 1/1000 scale model kits, as you stated. I checked my image files and the Bandai site, and so far the only large models of the fighters are included in the EDF kits. The only new 1/72 ships coming out are the Cosmo Fighters. So it now looks like Bandai are releasing these EDF Fighter kits to compliment the Garmillas Ships already available in the 1/1000 scale kits.
I will be watching this more closely now...

Yup...
STAR BLAZERS is a great universe. I always smile when I occasionally read a post online about who would win in a universal confrontation between STAR WARS and STAR TREK.
The good ole EDF can kill both...and so can The Garmillas Empire.
I love this universe so much because that level of power makes the drama more intense. The characters talk about it and try to be careful about when and where to use their mighty weapons. It is more endearing and disturbing. That is part of the reason why STAR BLAZERS in Japan is as cool there as SW & ST are here.
