I planned on posting this last week, but, got side tracked by life: work, family stuff, and LDD RCB. Sorry for the delay.
Up next in my series of Kenner Mini-Rigs from the 80's is the AST-5.
The vehicle featured two blaster cannons, each capable of swiveling 360 degrees. The vehicle had a "sentry" mode, an "attack" mode wherein the engine section would rotate to a 90-degree angle with the pilot section, and a "pursuit" mode where the engine section would rotate to a parallel position with the pilot section. It could also at least temporarily enter space.
Here is a shot of the pilot. Lots of SNOT! There's studs going every way possible in this model. Plus, it does rotate like the Kenner model and also, a Mini-Fig does fit in the cockpit. The only thing, I may, have to do to it, is try to incorporate some controls somehow. The cockpit is empty, maybe on the door??
Attack Mode
I nicknamed this model "the flying coffin". Shot it down, cover with sand, done!
This model has 161 pieces in it and I did attach the file for this, too. Someone suggested it in another thread for one of my Mini-Rigs.
Thanks, Jamie
