"…Next up is the T-47 'snowspeeder' from Bandai. This is a 1:48 scale kit and fits quite well with the bendy plastics from WotC. I must say that the Bandai kits go together like a dream and I only hope they do all the kits.

But of course, I couldn't just leave it at a normal kit, I felt a conversion coming on.

The first theatre for my Star Wars project is Tatooine (or it could be Jakku…) and so I thought a sandspeeder would be a good idea…"

The Snowspeeder should be Episode 5.

Actually, that would be 'the second Star Wars movie'.

:)

The details look excellent but the colors are way off, but that could simply be due to photography.

The colors aren't off, he said this is a "sandspeeder" It's been deployed in the desert so needs a suitable desert paint scheme.

You are right my friend.

I like the covered, streamlined pods on the wings. Similar to the streamlined Y-Wing.

Also like the color (for desert conditions).

Not 100% sold on the open cockpit, but it's an interesting modification.

Glad you like it too my friend.

I like the concept, but I think an enclosed cockpit would be more useful for a desert environment with all that sand!
