Bandai Star Wars 1/48 Scale - Snowspeeder

SnowSpeeder 1/48

The T-47 airspeeder was a model of low-altitude vehicle manufactured by Incom Corporation.????When the Alliance to Restore the Republic was stationed on the icy planet of Hoth, a contingent of T-47 airspeeders were modified to become ground attack, low-altitude fighters called snowspeeders. Hoth's extreme cold temperatures were too severe for these craft; the power generators would lock up since they ran hot, requiring a large bank of heat radiator fins for essential cooling. Rebel technicians modified the T-47 airspeeder by insulating each radiator fin with side panels to decrease the heat exchange in order to better suit the new environment.????
