My favorite SW build. Scratchbuilt in 1/64 scale from photos in the movie prohram and the SW photo book. Only info out there at the time. Balsa frame with sheet plastic cover and lots of junk box parts!!! Only model I have won cash with. At a Sci-Fi contest long ago I won 1st place and a $100 dollar bill!!! Thx

Looks great.....but if it's north of $60usd I will buy a few of the old Revell Monogram kits. Previous ICM 1/24 kits were obtainable in the $30-40 range.

I have built a bunch of the AMT 935 kits. It is simple but a few mods makes a decent shelf model. This is a Japanese kit, issued by Nitto and others. Same simple build with minor upgrandes.... -
