Star Wars: The Rebellion Snowspeeder from The Empire Strikes Back

The new Star Wars plastic model kits for gluing and painting now offer model fans aged 10 and over even more crafting fun. The modified T-47 Airspeeder, manufactured by Incom Corporation, reaches a speed of a good 1100 kilometres per hour using afterburners, but is not suitable for space flight. One of the most common starship types in the Star Wars galaxy, the T-47 can be found on almost every industrialised world. The Rebel modified T-47 is known as the Snowspeeder and is used in the battle on the ice planet Hoth to keep the advancing AT-ATs at bay. The modifications also included technical alterations to deal with the immediate freezing of the propulsion systems. Thanks to their high speeds, the Snowspeeders are difficult to hit. The resistant ropes, originally intended for carrying heavy loads and used effectively against the AT-ATs, are fired by harpoons. The pilot, who shares the cockpit back to back with the gunner, can take over complete weapons control as well as navigation if required.easykit pocket - big easykit fun in a small format.
