The new Star Wars plastic model kits for gluing and painting now offer model fans aged 10 and over even more crafting fun. The modified T-47 Airspeeder, manufactured by Incom Corporation, reaches a speed of a good 1100 kilometers per hour by means of afterburners, but is not suitable for space flight. As one of the most common types of spacecraft in the Star Wars galaxy, the T-47 can be found in almost every industrialized world. The T-47, revised by the rebels, is called the Snowspeeder and is used in the battle on the ice planet Hoth to keep the advancing AT-AT at bay. The modifications also included technical modifications to cope with the immediate freezing of the propulsion systems. Thanks to the high speeds, the snowspeeders are difficult to hit.
