Picked one of these up and answered my own question…the stand does appear to be metal.

My overall impressions?

It’s nice for the price walking out the door at Disney Parks but it is certainly very “toy-like” (visible screws, some parts made of rubber for child safety, visible seams, soft details) and won’t scratch the itch like, say, the Jason Eaton kit available at Masterpiece Models (which I’ll be salvaging the metal stand from this Skyhopper for).

But, as an in-universe toy, it fits that bill nicely.

For those of us with some painting skills, how nice would it look with a complete repaint, some weathering, washes, or even upgrades etc? Less toy like?

Definitely—it has the bones to be improved upon, for certain, just as you describe.

Jason Eaton’s studio scale decals, which includes the Skyhopper decals, are available here (if you are looking at doing a full repaint):
