The top hatch opens, and control pod (the "head") rotates. The kit has swiveling gun turrets.
Finished model is 16.5cm (6.5 inches) high.
Main problems with this kit are:
- Viewports are molded into place, so they can`t be placed into open position. This can be fixed by drilling them out completely and putting new covers on the model, which can be made from sheet styrene;
- the legs are unmovable;
- the hip joints are hollow, and they are somewhat out of shape.
Nonetheless, after some modifications and work, this kit can be built up into a nice looking model.
• This Airfix kit is reissue of MPC kit number 1-1976.
The fearsome AT-ST (All-Terrain Scout Transport) is the primary defensive weapon of the forces of the Empire in the forests of Endor.
