AMT Snowspeeder

Those are the figures that came with the kit, and yes they look like munchkins.  or Ompa lumpa's

AMT kits suffer from horrible figures, and figures that do not belong to a particular kit.

I have some TIE Interceptors and the figure looks like a B wing pilot with open faceplate and ovoid helmet.

That was it!!!! I knew I recognized them somewhere

Really nice build! The detail in the cockpit is really intrucate!

But I gotta ask about the pilots- doesn't exactly look like rebel pilot flight suits. At least not like in the films. Any idea why?

Sorry it's late but here are the picks I promised.

Either way, it sounds like it would be exciting to see!

I'd love to see pictures of the finished product

I worked on a 3d model to make patterns.

I am torn between putting the time into the kit or just starting from scratch. I don't plan to do a studio size model. If anything, I would do a super-detailed version half the size of the kit. That being the case, it would be roughly 3 1/2 inches long, but a nice desk piece.

I have built the kit many times and it's not that bad.  The cockpit lacks and the figures are total wacked but it still builds up real nicely.  I bought the Outter Space Outfitters control panels and they really make a difference in making the interior.  I'll shot some pictures of mine so you can see...

For the longest time this was your only shot if you wanted a Speeder, but no it looks like Fine Molds is going to release a 1/48th scale one.  If it's like any of thier other products, save your pennies it will be well worth it....

Hiya, and to the Forums!

I've got that kit in my stash, but as of yet I haven't built it yet. Hopefully someone else can answer up here
