8/10 Bantha Skulls

Nothing really new here, other than the artwork and paint scheme.  The Twi-Lek nose art is inspired by World War II American bomber nose art that was improvised by the individual flight crews.  As is my preference, the artwork is painted on.  I don’t like labels, as over time they dry up and peel off.

I think the Gunship is a great looking ship and a great toy.  It’s the fifth version, so I won’t go into detail about, as you probably have one version already.  But if you don’t, it’s worth picking up.  If you have to have them all, this is a nice addition to the fleet.

This ship will be made more versatile with the upcoming release of the Gunship canon/pilot set, “Assault on Geonosis”, due in the summer of 2009.
