This 3 in 1 kit is a very simple kit that is nicely done. Each fighter is only four pieces, the wings and the body in two pieces. They are nicely detailed and quite accurate. Construction is basically nil. Painting is the tricky part as they are very small. I made the mistake of using inaccurate paint guides so my schemes aren't really correct. I used varying shades of gray and a gray-blue as well as some red for the eyes. I dry brushed some blackish color and airbrushed some black by the laser emitters. These are in scale with the N-1 Starfighter so they go together nicely. I did this kit around when I first started so I was still pretty inexperienced. That explains the poor color choice and painting quality. I got this kit off eBay for less than $5.
