ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
Featured prominently in the "The Phantom Menace's" climactic battle scene, the Trade Federation Tank was a oddly-shaped, slow-moving and apparently lightly armed fighting vehicle propelled by a combination of jet and hover technology. Its elevated turret position makes one wonder how such a vehicle could be effective against low-lying ground targets. |
This was one of the largest
kits produced by AMT/Ertl in conjunction with "TPM," and it built
up very nicely. However, like most of the "TPM" kits
released in 1999 and 2000, it was a slow seller, a fact that caused AMT/Ertl to
ultimately abandon the once-lucrative "Star Wars" license. The model was built from an original issue. |
