Description

Armour that floats

Star Wars has never been fond of tracks and wheels, and the Republic's fighter tank follows that tradition by hovering above the ground. It combines speed with heavy firepower and fights for the Republic in ground battles against the Separatists in The Clone Wars. For fans of the series, it fills a useful gap between walkers and gunships, giving a Republic army a quick, low-slung vehicle for skirmishes on the battlefield. On a shelf, its flat, wide shape also contrasts nicely with the taller walkers.

More variety than you might expect

The set contains 596 pieces, and 157 of them are unique. That is a relatively high share, so the build keeps introducing new elements rather than repeating the same steps. Experienced builders will appreciate this, while younger fans will find the process engaging from start to finish. The finished tank is compact and solid, which suits a vehicle intended to be pushed around a table in the middle of a battle.

A light crew

Only 2 minifigures come with the set, so the focus is firmly on the tank itself. That is enough to crew it, and any clone troopers you already own can join in to build a larger scene. The colour scheme of white, dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and dark red matches the Republic look of the era. Because the set already uses bluish greys, modern replacement parts will match without any noticeable difference, which makes restoring an older copy far simpler.

Inventory and second life

The full inventory is listed further down this page, showing every part with its colour and quantity. That makes it easy to confirm whether a second-hand copy is complete before you start building. If the tank is eventually taken apart, the What can I build? tool compares its pieces with other models and your collection. White and dark red parts are especially versatile in spacecraft, vehicles and buildings of your own design.
