【Top Gun: Maverick】 The Long-Awaited Model of the Darkstar Appears! Experience the Sonic Elegance in 1/72 Scale!
2025-08-06
Anyone who watched “Top Gun: Maverick” was surely captivated—if only for a moment—by the “Darkstar,” the hypersonic aircraft that silently yet unmistakably made its presence known in the film’s opening scene. Now, that extraordinary machine races off the screen and onto your desk as a 1/72 scale plastic model. Its stunning form and the tension between fiction and reality can now be experienced firsthand.
One of Darkstar's defining features is its dual-engine setup—turbojet and scramjet—which symbolizes more than just speed; it represents the pursuit of ultimate velocity. This model reproduces that detail with a movable splitter that allows you to replicate the engine transition. The precision in every element speaks volumes—as if the engineers themselves are telling a story through the model’s construction.
This kit is far more than just a static display piece. With features like an openable canopy and the ability to switch between takeoff and landing configurations, it lets you capture your favorite moment in time. The angle, the scene—you decide. Each choice brings out a new expression from Darkstar. Whether you’re faithfully recreating a cinematic moment or inventing your own imaginative mission, this model goes beyond form to hint at the story that lies beyond.
