Completed Bandai AT-ST

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Completed Bandai AT-ST

Post by mylo66 »

Following on from my Bandai Y-wing here is their rather nice 1:48 scale AT-ST. As before the quality of this kit is outstanding.
I have heard that some people have had trouble with the joints becoming brittle and breaking but that wasn`t an issue i had.
If i were to be very picky the AT-ST drivers/pilots (i`ll let you choose) could have been moulded with better hands & maybe a less
ridged arm pose, but that said, once they are in position, even with the top removed (to see the excellent interior)
off its not really a problem.

Really nice! Yet another to go on the wish list......for about 24hrs until my will power gives up and then I'll order one!
Best wishes

That looks really good! I see what you mean about the crew, but as you say once in position they look fine. I suppose the motion of an AT-ST would lead to you having to sit in a rigid position anyway!

Yeah, I'm guessing it would be a rough ride in there. I wonder if the empire provide their own motion sickness bags?

I appear to have missed this as well as the Falcon on first posting. Yet another top Star Wars build. Excellent work.
