| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
Built by Incom, the same company
responsible for the legendary X-Wing Starfighter, the T-16 was a two-man
pleasure/utility craft manufactured for civilian use. Because its
cockpit and control layout were similar to its military counterpart, the
T-16 was often used as a training vehicle for pilots assigned to the X-Wing. In fact, the so-called "Skyhopper" was never seen in action in any of the "Star Wars" movies. Its only appearance was as a partially built mock-up sitting in the Skywalker family garage and as a scale model "flown" by Luke Skywalker during his first conversation with droids C-3PO and R2-D2. |
