Air support!

A platoon is dropped planet side to the fight to the clankers.

A couple of 'shinies' join the men of the 501st in the drop. True to form, one of these new recruits catches a blaster bolt within moments of landing.

This is a Micromachines toy and it seems to fit the scale. The ball turrets seem to be in scale with the 15mm figures.

I have some screw holes to fill up with Milliput and paint. I'll give it a think oil wash too to bring out the panel lines.

The body is metal with plastic wings. They have chosen a different colour for the wings which I'm not that keen on. I'll paint on this to lesson the contrast.

Man down...medic!

 The ball turrets really make this model for me. They are detachable but I think I'll keep mine on.

I found this image which I think this latest model is based on as it has the same colour scheme.

Droideka shields buckle under the heavy laser fire of the ball turrets.

Looking at this image, I would say my 15mm figures are spot on for scale.
