Keep us posted, it looks like your off to a great start! In one of Ralph McQuarries older prints from StarWars he depicted a Speeder in Urban cammo flying through a city to engage an AT-AT in the streets. It was sharp angled squares of greys and whites.

Nice job on the cockpit, what did you use for the harnesses? An urban camo scheme would be cool, kinda fit in with the Rogue Squadron game.

Great Looking SSGKopp!!! I was just laughing at this kit the other day while looking at the crew figures (all short and stumpy). I thought Frodo and Sam would have gotten the ring back to Mt. Doom way faster if they had flown this thing insted of walking.

I'll have to keep that in mind for straps, thanks. As for the monkey pilots, I'm surprised noone has released a better crew set for it.
