coma Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erren Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's the new one. I bought one last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_WarM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Does it contain underslug weapons other than the assault cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 As for the older speeders, I have found that less glue is better. All of the glue points fall along the center line of the model, and generally speaking no piece is glued to the top an the bottom. I have 11 of that type of speeder, so this comes from a lot of trial and error. Only glue the seats at the front center console point, just a little dot there. The cosole is glued to the seats, but not to the top of the speeder, except as possibly the last step. The seat back only needs a little dot at the curved part where it meets the seats. The top only needs a little dot in the center where it meets the top of thhe seat backs. There are a couple of parts that don't actually need glue as they are secured by the top and bottom of the speeder once assembled. The gaps that most people experence are due to putting glue in the wrong places, which causes the model to flex. The rear thrusters only needs to be glued to the lower part of the frame. Once you hve the speeder fully assembled, if you do have gaps, find a point on the center line to glue the top of the speeder to one of the other pieces. Do not glue the edges of the top of the speeder to the bottom of the speeder, this will only cause more gaps on the other side of the model. If this front is popped up the place to secure it is the console, but this step is not always required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 With the Land speeders I’ve used elastic bands while the glue sets also those mini clamps The under slung weapons on mine are all magnet jobs easier for travel packing & swapping I've also magneted the top HB on a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erren Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Does it contain underslug weapons other than the assault cannon? Yeah, it also has an underslung Heavy Flamer. What I did was take the Heavy Bolter from the Attack Bike kit (there's one in the Battlefoce!), cut off the little piece that connects it to the "rail" it would normally be attached to, and then glue that along with a searchlight to the extra underslung mount that comes with the ravenwing upgrade frame. Then I can put magnets in the base of the landspeeder and the weapon mount, which I found much easier than trying to put a magnet in the weapon and the mount. I'll try to take some pictures later today and upload them, it looks pretty good in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
