Keep us posted, it looks like your off to a great start! In one of Ralph McQuarries older prints from StarWars he depicted a Speeder in Urban cammo flying through a city to engage an AT-AT in the streets. It was sharp angled squares of greys and whites.
Nice work on that cockpit! I can’t wait to see this when your done.
thx guys ill post more pics this week i going to detail the canopy this week
Nice job on the cockpit, what did you use for the harnesses? An urban camo scheme would be cool, kinda fit in with the Rogue Squadron game.
used tamiya masking tape then used M1A2 PE sponson box handles
Great Looking SSGKopp!!! I was just laughing at this kit the other day while looking at the crew figures (all short and stumpy). I thought Frodo and Sam would have gotten the ring back to Mt. Doom way faster if they had flown this thing insted of walking.

I’ll have to keep that in mind for straps, thanks. As for the monkey pilots, I’m surprised noone has released a better crew set for it.
i just folded the tape onto itself then using a template i cut it to size and there u have it
Looks great! Definately keep us posted. I want to see more… Leon
