BradG Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 1 hour ago, LSP_Ray said: I missed the original discussion, but I would think it would still have to be atmospheric travel. SciFi part could mean the old Japanese scifi like the Valkyrie aircraft, or Luft 46 paper projects or similar or even modern X-planes or concept craft. Even the Battlestar Galactica prequel had an atmosphere-bound early Viper with forward swept wings. And in Star Wars, wouldn't the Speeder qualify? Yeh pretty much. The speeder is fine, it's 1/29 and recently reissued too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Hi! About the upcoming VTOL BG, that means no Autogyros allowed (Cierva, "Little Nellie" etc.)? If the Harrier allowed so should Autogyros, both needs a short starting run, but they can land vertically.

As there is no power to the rotors they aren't really VTOL craft. While the Harrier does often use a short take off or ski jump, it is capable of direct vertical lift off.

Think the biggest Snowspeeder is the 1/48 Bandai kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the original MTC(?) release from decades ago was larger than 1/32nd. I built one years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was originally MPC and this says it was 1/22 scale. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mpc-ertl-8914-luke-skywalkers-snowspeeder--139334 I remember the kit, but never thought the scale was that large.

LSP_Ray Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 It was oddball. I usually use the included figure to estimate scale, but in this case the figure is so misshapen it is hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya F-1 drivers appear to fit quite well if the seats and floor of the kit are modified. The kit gnomes are best thrown away! Didn’t know it was reissued. Any corrected parts for the interior by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I vaguely recall there being some AM for it. I built mine years ago before I found any. I scratched everything for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
