AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299: Build, Paint & Assembly Guide

AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299 deserves its own article because its identity is more specific than the surrounding category. The model kit record from AMT is evaluated here through its exact naming, variant data, image evidence and intended project or collection use.

How this release is identified

• Exact product: AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299
• Brand or vendor: AMT
• Product type: Model Kit
• SKU or catalog key: AMT1299
• Scale stated in the record: 1:48
• Road or release number: AMT1299
• Variants reviewed: 1
• Product images indexed: 1

The recorded price at verification was $38.49 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

The scale marker 1:48 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The number AMT1299 separates this release from visually similar versions. The working catalog key is AMT1299. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another model kit listing.

Evidence taken from the live record

The live record provides the following product-specific information: “AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299 is an AMT plastic model kit for scale-model builders and collectors. This Muncle Mikes listing is with item number AMT1299. Brand: AMT item number / item number: AMT1299 Scale: 1:48 Product type: Plastic model kit The subject and scale are identified in the product title.

How to evaluate this product type

AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299 should be planned as a sequence rather than a single purchase. Inventory the parts or sheets, review the instructions, identify surfaces that require cleanup, and decide when paint, decals or clear finish belong in the build. Item number AMT1299 keeps this plan tied to the exact product instead of a neighboring release.

Do not infer included paint, cement, batteries or tools unless the listing or package states that they are supplied. A complete shopping plan distinguishes kit contents from builder-supplied materials.

A closer project or collection check

Compatibility is often more important than brand familiarity. Styrene cement, cyanoacrylate, water-based paint, solvent paint and clear coats behave differently on different materials. Use the exact product instructions and a test piece whenever the material is not confirmed.

Record substitutions as part of the build log. That makes later repairs or a second build reproducible without misrepresenting the original package contents.

Using the gallery as evidence

Review all 1 available image in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and item number AMT1299.

Before committing the item to a project

• Identity: title, vendor and item number AMT1299 agree.
• Contents: included pieces and quantity are explicit.
• Fit: scale, dimensions or interface match the intended use.
• Condition: the photographed state is acceptable for the project or collection.
• Transaction: current option, price and availability are confirmed.

Cataloging and project notes

Catalog the item under the complete title and AMT1299, then add the date received and the condition actually observed. For a project item, note where it was installed or how it was used. For a collectible, note package and display condition separately.

Retaining the exact identifiers protects the record when product titles or availability later change.

Gift considerations

Gift buyers should match AMT1299 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.

What buyers commonly need to confirm

What identifies this exact product?

The complete title, AMT1299, vendor AMT, product type Model Kit and photographed item form the identity. None should be replaced by a generic category label.

What is still unconfirmed?

Any dimension, material, accessory, compatibility claim or package component absent from the listing remains unconfirmed until the current instructions or manufacturer record supplies it.

Where should the purchase decision be finalized?

A final exact-item review

For AMT Star Wars A New Hope TIE Fighter 1:48 Model Kit #AMT1299, finish the decision by reading the title, product type and item number as one identity. The vendor is AMT, the listed product type is Model Kit, and the working item number is AMT1299. Save those fields together rather than relying on a thumbnail or shortened name. Then compare the received item with the listing image before it is opened, assembled, modified or placed in a collection.

Record anything that affects this exact item: selected option, package condition, quantity received, fit result, installation notes or visible variation. That observation belongs to this product record and should not be generalized to every related release. Keeping the original evidence and the later ownership notes separate makes the article useful for repeat orders, repairs, collection audits and accurate identification.
