From the Manufacturer
At the climax of the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, the Imperial forces appeared unstoppable. The battle appeared to be one-sided as the AT-AT Imperial walkers lumbered towards their intended targets unhindered by cannon fire or Rebel heavy blasters. However, the Rebels had another weapon in their arsenal: the modified T-47 airspeeder, known more commonly as the snowspeeder. These swift, two-man vehicles utilize repulsor-lift technology to hover above the ground. Two primary engines in the rear provide forward momentum, while a pilot and a rear gunner occupy the tiny cockpit in the center. In addition to two blaster cannons mounted atop the wings, this light-weight craft also carries a cannon/harpoon launcher in the rear. Using this harpoon and an attached tow-cable one of these small snowspeeders was able to topple over a mighty AT-AT. These fascinating vehicles were created by the ILM model crew in resin, metal, and plastic.
Product Description
This is a studio scale replica of the original studio model used in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back of the Rebel Snowspeeder, the ultra-fast, ultra-versatile flying vehicle used by Luke Skywalker to bring down the Imperial AT-ATs in the battle of Hoth. This prop replica matches Luke's own speeder, the Rogue One, down to every detail, including the distinctive gray markings plus the weathering and battle damage endured in the inhospitably frigid Hoth environment. Like the original, the snowspeeder is cast from high quality cast resin with many of the fine details reproduced from injection molded plastic, and the main guns are created from aluminum tubing. Includes an exclusively designed expanded prop story and snowspeeder screen shot. Approximate model dimensions are 16" L x 14" W x 4" H. Complete display measures approximately 19" L x 18" W x 11" H.
