Jay helped me a great deal to compile scans for a Model Kit Reference CD which I'd like to have time to work on again.
Besides the Vibro-Ax, the Tamiya 1:6 scale Yamaha XS1100LG Midnight Special may have been used on the Biker Scout and A-Wing helmets.
Here's some misc info I've copied and pasted from various old scale model forum threads:
___________________________________
A-Wing:
I think the prototype was made from an F14 Tomcat and the solid booster rockets of a Space Shuttle.
Oh, I forgot. The two oval engines in the back of the main hull are the intakes of an F-16, If I am not mistaken. (the
4 round engines inside are from a Stardestroyer, I think.)
F-14 was used for prototype fuselage,
F-16 bottom intake was used for the round engines for the center on the back of the fuselage.
(as explained above)
TIE Interceptor:
Nope, but you can make your own if you want... Just get some people to help you look for kit parts. I know they
used parts from the Hasegawa Leopold and/or the Hasegawa Karl Morser... Also some Tamiya Race Car parts on
it, and possibly some of the same parts that are found on the Standard TIE
Speeder Bike:
There is something wierd about the Speederbike...
The fuselage is made from several formula 1 race cars: Ferrari 312T (the front part of the fuselage) Ferrari 312B,
(the piece that has the gun attached to it) and a Brabham BT46 for the part of the fuselage where the seat is and
the rolled up blanket. The steering vanes are the side panels from the BT46 and another car.
The odd thing is: The largest scale car is 1:12. That would make the speederbike the same size as the ERTL kit.
So I assume ILM built a prototype in that scale and then a larger version later. Anybody know anything about
that?
