Sweet. That's always been one of my favorites. Do you plan on doing kits?

I did this one about 10 years ago. It was my first scratchbuild.

Did you guys have some plans on these or did you just make them up as you go? The details on both are so good that they could be MR class:

Great Skyhoppers guys- here is one I scratchbuilt way back in 1982--not as much photo reference back then.. It is hard to see in this picture but it has a full interior with cockpit controls and pilot and co-pilot seats.

That's a nice Skyhopper, Pauleysolo... and a nice Vader too. :thumbsup

Thanks. It's roughy 1:72. I based the size from a 1:72 pilot from a jet kit I had at the time. All sheet styrene with a cut-up sewing thread spool for the lower intake and exhaust. The windows and black details are all painted on. I'll try to get some newer pics up in the next day or so, showing the rear of it.
