7/10 Bantha Skulls

Nothing really new here, other than the artwork and paint scheme.  The Wampa nose art is inspired by World War II American bomber nose art that was improvised by the individual flight crews.  I prefer that the details/artwork be painted on directly at the factory.  In this case, there are a bunch of labels packaged with this vehicle, including the Wampa artwork.  I just feel the paint lasts longer, as decals tend to dry up and peel off or flake over time.  As such, I generally avoid putting labels on most of my stuff.  I’ll have to decide what to do in this case, since the Wampa Art is what makes this vehicle unique.  On the other hand, this does enable you to keep the ship generic, which may be better if you are building a fleet.

The ARC-170 is a pretty good looking ship, true to the movies/animation, and makes a good toy.  You’ve seen it before, so I won’t go into detail about it, but if it’s new to you, it’s worth picking up.  It’s unique enough that you can add it to your Republic Fleet.
