Info on old Star Wars Echo Base

Hey Irish.  Not sure I've seen the Echo Base dio.  I have the Planet Hoth kit, is that the same?  Could you post pics of the kit?  Sure would like to see it.

I am not sure there is any AM for these sets, but I could be wrong. According to this, its 150 scale, you might find this useful.

I think the Echo Base and Batle of Hoth were two seperate kits. Hoth had the walkers, speeders, rebel guns and the Echo had the Rebel transports, Ion canon, perhaps a few x-wings, IIRC. It's been so long. I had the Battle of Hoth kit way back then.

I had one, still probably have the remnants of it. The whole thing is a mix of scales. The Y-Wings only vaguely resemble them. The transport ship is salvageable. I doubt there is anything for this kit. I picked one up when they were last released back around 1999-2000.

Hey Irish, that sounds very cool!  Keep us posted on that.

I remember building a couple of those, forever ago. But once something is glued down forget about trying to move it to another spot.

But it was a great kit. I wish I still had one of them.

I think the Echo Base and Batle of Hoth were two seperate kits.

I know of one by AMT the other was boxed by Airfix (pretty sure they were the same kit).

Here's the kits

Really, the little Galoob Micro Machines are more accurate than the small kits from this set.

I recently dug this little puppy out to refurb it. Some of the ships/equipment I had glued down popped right off and others took a chunk of the plastic base with them. However the holes should be pretty easy to fill and blend in with putty as its supposed to be an uneven snowy surface. I refinished the ships and equipment and pretty much left it at that stage as I haven't decided to go with the included base or make my own.

I also have the Hoth kit and I'm pretty sure the snow speeder ships are larger,
