ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
Like all Gungan technology, the "bongo" submarine has a distinctively organic look to it, resembling a cross between a manta ray and a squid. According to Lucasfilm, the subs were organically "grown" and were equipped with shields that protected the passenger compartment even at enormous depths. |
One of AMT/Ertl's last licensed
"Star Wars" kits produced in the 1990s, the Gungan submarine was a simple "snap" kit that
actually built up into a pretty impressive model. The kit was released
only briefly in early 2000 before going out of production. This model was built from an original issue. |
