While the movie had all of them with that setup, there were a few in the video games that had the engines connected with fins.

Cool concept, i keep wondering if its actually a pod racer though? Pod racers are a cockpit attached to two engines via cables.

 i still haven't  built my Annakin pod racer yet.

I had one but pooched it badly.  I ended up keeping the parts, though, and the engines ended up becoming parts for  Reaver ship concept ( from Firefly/Serenity ).

Never got a replacement kit.

I'm sure the Pod Racer class has so much potential for kitbash and scratchbuilding modeler, yet i can't remember ever seeing any original ones. i still haven't  built my Annakin pod racer yet.

A kitbashed/scratchbuilt pod racer has been on my to-do list for some time.

Cool idea! I was thinking you could use two 'Red Bull' cans and decal her as a 'Red Bull' pod racer...

Pod Racer Kit Bash
Posted by R Fluhr on Friday, October 12, 2012 6:15 PM

Hello everybody I was just cruising Google and found some more inspiration, I have always wanted to kit bash a model using pop cans as engines. I have not found a design I really liked though until now. I also have always liked the pod racers from Stars Wars I The Phantom Menace now I have a design I want to base the model on. I'll post some progress pictures when I get started.
