SUNSCOUR-972 STRIKE SNOWSPEEDER Custom Star Wars 3.75 Speeder vintage Kenner

  
Built for rich Outer Rim warlords and sector governors, SUNSCOUR-972 started life as a ceremonial escort speeder - all gleaming gold hull plates and spotless cannons. Years of low-level runs over dust seas and slag fields have stripped the polish off. Now this wedge-shaped strike craft flies like a brutalised, up-gunned snowspeeder: skimming the deck on repulsors, twin prow guns chewing through armour while the pilot sits in a cockpit lit blood-red.

Custom SUNSCOUR-972 strike snowspeeder styled for the Star Wars universe. Designed for 3.75" / 1:18 scale figures - deep, enclosed cockpit with opening canopy.

Wide wedge profile echoing classic Rebel snowspeeders, but heavier and more armoured. Twin long-barrel nose cannons with ribbed energy coils and reinforced mounts. Boxy side pods carrying multi-barrel guns and missile racks for maximum firepower. Internal red cockpit lighting to give the pilot that menacing "attack run" glow.

Hull crests, stencilled numerals and tiny console decals to reward close-up viewing Painting & weathering. Armour finished in rich burnished gold, layered over darker metallics so it reads like gilded plating that's actually seen combat. Subtle tonal variation across panels - some warmer, some cooler - to avoid toy flatness and sell the idea of replacement plates and field repairs.

Aggressive scratching and edge wear on the nose, wing edges and pods where sand, debris and blaster fire hit first. Oily grime and soot worked into panel lines, intakes and the rear deck to suggest hard-burn attack runs and dirty landing zones. Cannon tips and engine rings treated with blue/purple heat staining for a "just over-charged the blasters" look. Small red, blue and silver spot colours on weapons and tech panels to break up the gold and lead the eye around the hull Display & use. One-of-a-kind custom - this exact golden Star Wars scheme and loadout won't be repeated. Perfect centrepiece for desert, city-underworld or spice-run dioramas; sits nicely alongside X-wings, snowspeeders and gunships. Looks great swooping low over walkers, escorting transports or parked on a crime lord's landing pad with guards around it.
