I have one of these ships and just wanted to share how PERFECT it is for 15mm Scifi gaming.
The cockpit is just wide enough to comfortably fit two pilots, its about tall enough to be be divided into three decks and a fourth maintenance sub-deck. Sorry about the blur, and the models present besides the Dropship are 15mm Eureka Ventaurans and a Zevezda 1/100 Panzer III Tank. |

Kurt did do a fantastic job on modeling the bigger mech scale IWM Leopard Dropship, if only they had choosen to cast it in resin or plastic instead of that nasty foam, but thats a old gripe and topic now days, but yes it does make for a superb looking Dropship in 15mm scale. |

Also makes a great armed shuttle… or unarmed shuttle if you leave the turret off. |

Do they still make these? |
| AVAMANGO | 01 Oct 2011 9:47 a.m. PST |
Yes they just started reselling them again last month but you will have to order it directly from IWM though. |

I still have the clicky Mechwarrior ship in the basement. link Positively titanic for 15mm. |

Would work for 6mm too … you have to have some way to get Mechs/Titans/Combat Walkers on the ground … |
| Psyckosama | 01 Oct 2011 4:32 p.m. PST |
@legion It's actually a 6mm scale model… |
| Legion 4 | 01 Oct 2011 7:19 p.m. PST |
Well … better yet !!!!  |

I've got one of those Leopards of the original run, have yet to put it together. I'd be willing to trade it for an Mechwarrior Aurora.  |
| Psyckosama | 03 Oct 2011 7:38 p.m. PST |
I'd love to get a mechwarrior Aurora too… they're awarsome. |

Can someone please post a direct link to this ship. I do 15mm, but never did Battle-tech or Mecks and such.
So I am clueless on finding this on the Iron Wind site. Thank you! |

I don't know if this is the one pictured above, it looks different to me.
Before ordering maybe contact IWM to ask for dimensions of model??

That's map scale not 'Mech scale. |

Iron Wind does not offer this model online at this time. I just checked. |

The thread is three years old…. |

I have considered doing number of Battletech inspired Dropships in 15mm….. |

ugly as sin -very 1980's -- just saying It is certainly a very brutal aesthetic. It is defnately a flying cargo boat rather than a sleek space-ship-come-plane shuttle/lander. John T |
