Kit features a rotating cannon on the back, hinged canopy and a very detailed cockpit. The air brakes on the rear of the ship can be positioned in either open or closed position.
Kit includes display stand and two figures of Rebel pilots in seated position (they are out of scale and look very strange - their arms are unnaturally long).
Water slide decals are supplied on separate sheet. One of the decals is for main view screen - it shows several AT-ATs on the scopes.
Finished model is about 20cm (8 inches) long.
• This Airfix kit is reissue of MPC kit number 1-1926.
