SNAPTITE® STAR WARS® X-34 LANDSPEEDER™

Travel the deserts of Tatooine.

“Star Wars” took the world by storm when it was released in 1977. Over 30 years later, this landmark sci-fi fl ick continues to fascinate fi lmgoers. Star Wars’ lasting popularity is a testament to its memorable characters, exciting storytelling and stirring special effects. This easy-to-assemble SnapTite kit features painted, multi-colored parts, Luke Skywalker® and C-3PO® fi gures and a multi-position display stand.

RMXS1874 Total parts: 41 Skill level 1 Length: 9.6 in (243 mm)

SNAPTITE® STAR WARS® TIE FIGHTER™

Raid the Rebel Alliance!

Fans of the original “Star Wars” trilogy will no doubt recognize the Galactic Empire’s tenacious TIE fi ghters. The “TIE” designation comes from the spacecraft’s Twin Ion Engine system, which is powered by solar panels on each wing. While TIE fi ghters lack shields or hyperdrive capabilities, they have been known to outrun and outmaneuver Rebel Alliance spacecraft on more than one occasion. This easy-to-assemble kit features multi-colored, painted plastic parts, an opening hatch, a detailed cockpit, an Imperial pilot fi gure and a movable display stand.

Announced on July 21, 2008, the 2010 Camaro’s signature styling was inspired by the classic ’69 Camaro. The SS version with automatic transmission features a 400 hp L99 V-8 engine which propels it from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds – and a full quarter-mile in 13.1 seconds. Kit features an opening hood with full engine detail, a factory aero package with side skirts and a front spoiler, a choice of SS package or custom wheels, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and decals with stock markings and two optional accent trim packages.


1/25 SCALE AUDI® R8 SPYDER®

Engineered without compromise.

The open-air Audi R8 Spyder avoids the pitfalls associated with other open-air vehicles, namely excess weight and a weak chassis. The end result is a no-compromise performer, thanks to a V-10 engine that goes from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 195 mph. Kit features a lift-up rear deck with a fully detailed V-10 engine, a highly detailed suspension, realistic transaxle detail, the option of having the top “up” or “down,” movable front wheels, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and decals with graphics and vent screens.

1/72 SCALE HANDLEY PAGE HALIFAX MK.I/IIWWII’s tried-and-true British bomber.

When the Handley Page Halifax was introduced in 1940, it revolutionized the aircraft industry. At the time, bombers were usually powered by two engines. The Handley Page Halifax was equipped with four. It entered service with the RAF Bomber Command in 1941, fl ying throughout Europe and the Middle East. The RAF Coastal Command and Transport Command also benefi tted from the Halifax’s added horse- and fi repower while stationed in the Far East.

Commissioned by King Adolphous to refl ect Sweden’s stature as a major power, the Wasa was constructed from 1626-1628.

Initial attempts to raise her proved to be unsuccessful. However, she was fi nally raised in 1961. Today, the Wasa can be seen at Stockholm’s Vasa Museum, where she has attracted over 29 million visitors.
