This is a project I've been working on for some time but finally finished. It is the Fantastic Plastic resin kit of the T-16 Skyhopper (the model Luke was playing with in the original Star Wars). The only change I made to the kit was to hollow out the fuselage and install a new scratch-built cockpit, with glazing and some figures (although you can't really see them in the photos).
