As I recall, this was simply a fantastic kit to put together. Built straight from the box it went together quickly and easily, with no real problems with fit and seams. And I loved that it included two lengths of high tensile wire for the twin antennae, which was a very nice touch from AMT. Having said that I couldn't help but feel a little ripped off by the fact that there was no interior, or even a 1/32nd scale droid, or two. Including the option of an open hatch on the gun turret with just half a droid sitting in it, would have made this model absolutely awesome!
As you will see, I had a lot of fun painting this tank, once I got the overall paint scheme sorted. With lots of carbon scoring and paint chips going on to such a large subject you could really let loose with your creativity (or should that be destructiveness!?).
