BASIC INFO
Official Name AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport)
Movie Return of the Jedi
Airfix kit was available 1985
Airfix kit number 960276
Scale about 1/54
Number of parts 22
"SNAPfix" snap-together kit

Box front

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.


Notes

• This Airfix kit is reissue of MPC kit number 1-1976.


Description from the MPC box
