Now in 2021 I've made some structural improvements as well as visual tweaks and prepared instructions for it.ĭimensions in flight mode on a display stand: 41 cm width, 44 cm height, 28 cm depth. The model is based on 2015 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium set (75094) and was originally designed back in 2018.
It is supposed to be presented in a flight mode on a dedicated display stand, yet there are detachable landing legs to keep it on the ground in a lending position too. This is 1.455 pieces solid build display model. Modern use of the Kappa-class often sees the AT-PT vehicle bays used to contain cargo or other more conventional ground-vehicles instead.The Lambda -class T-4a shuttle, also known as Imperial Shuttle, with it's characteristic trihedral foil design is probably the most elegant and slick craft in the whole Star Wars universe. It was a multi-purpous transport often used by high-ranking Imperial officers and VIP's including Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. This concept saw limited employment on the battlefield since the Kappa-class Shuttle was eventually replaced with newer dropships.Īlthough the Kappa-class has been largely replaced by the Galactic Empire with more modern shuttles and dropships, which feature greater troop capacity and capabilities, it still sees use as a secondary ship within the Imperial Navy. The AT-PT’s can then provide heavy firepower and armor support to ground troops landing in a combat zone. Port and starboard exit hatches from the vehicle bay allow the AT-PT’s to disembark over low ramps. The Kappa-class Shuttle features an aft vehicle bay containing two AT-PT walkers. Its blaster cannons protect the shuttle during flight, while its repeating blaster cannons are meant to clear the destined landing area of any enemy forces, thus allowing the shuttle to establish a safe zone for its carried platoon to disembark.
The ship is designed to transport troops directly into a hot landing zone. During the Clone Wars, most Victory-class Star Destroyers were equipped with these craft. These features include the angled cockpit area with wide viewport, a ventral debarkation hatch, and three stubby stabilization fins. The Kappa-class Shuttle was a Galactic Republic-era shuttle that possessed many features which were later incorporated into the Imperial Lambda-class Shuttle.
