Or flying Machine-gun Nest as I think of it
- and why not?!! In a galaxy far-far away, long, long ago, where laptops and
mobile technology are strangely absent, but cars can 'fly'; having an airborne
MG platform (which probably couldn't hit a barn door from further than 100 feet
away!) seems like a good idea!
We've looked at two of these already; the Micro-Machine branded example and the
full 'Hasbro' die-cast, this is Mattel's 'Hotwheel' effort, and there is a major difference in the design. As
to who got the design wrong; is open to the floor as I haven't seen the latest
episodes in the unfolding saga tired franchise.
While the two aforementioned versions have
the gunner leaning or reaching out of his seat, Mattel have had him get up, move forward and stand where he is A)
in the way of the driver's view, and B) likely to try flying himself if the
driver has to take evasive action, or make a sharp turn for any reason!
Some other stuff - photographing something
on your own hand is surprisingly hard!. Don't get me wrong (yes - I know some
people want to 'get me wrong' out of principle - I feed off their
negativity!), the piss-taking is for comedic effect and it's really a nice
little model!

Apparently Mattel has it right for the Snowspeeder.
