The kit includes two Imperial Patrol Speeders with Patrol Troopers. Each speeder has a sound module with two different engine and combat sounds. The speeders also include a retractable landing gear.
The speeder are nicely detailed and the sound is also nice feature.
The biggest flaw of the kit are the Patrol Troopers. The screen version has a lot more black uniform parts.
The kit is all in all pretty nice but you should repaint the figures if you decide to buy it.

I agree this one needs some paint. Awesome review. I agree with all your points.
Off to share in all the right places.

I’m glad you got this new kit from SOLO. These speeders look nice and the light & sound effects received good reception as far as I heard.
It’s still a little sad/disappointing that the details and paint apps on Bandai’s kits are just so much better. In this scale Revell could’ve easily applied more paint, but cutting costs always tastes better than that.
Very nice review! I like your new background! Thanks for sharing and have a nice Sunday!
