Bandai Star Wars 1/48 AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport)
Deploy the "Chicken Walker" for rapid reconnaissance and tactical support. Dragoon Gaming stocks the Bandai Star Wars 1/48 AT-ST, an elite-tier scale model that captures the industrial menace of the Galactic Empire’s primary scout vehicle. Famous for its appearance in Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian, this kit is engineered with Bandai’s signature precision, offering film-accurate detail in a substantial 1/48 scale silhouette.
High-Detail Imperial Scout Engineering
The Bandai 1/48 AT-ST stands out for its incredible mechanical complexity and stable articulation. Every piston and hydraulic cable in the legs is molded with precision, allowing you to pose the walker in its iconic high-speed stride or balanced for combat. The armor plates feature high-density rivet and panel line detail, providing a "Studio Scale" look straight out of the box. Unlike traditional scale models, this kit features snap-fit construction, requiring no glue for a secure and durable assembly.

Dragoon Gaming Builder’s Advisory
The Bandai AT-ST is a masterpiece that rewards builders who enjoy the weathering process. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend using a Gundam Marker GM-01 (Black) to define the panel lines on the industrial grey armor. To capture the look of a walker operating in the field, use the AK Dark Rust Panel Liner around the leg joints and base of the "head" to simulate oil and oxidation. For a professional, non-plastic finish, apply a Matte Top Coat to unify the textures and make the Imperial grey plastic look like real metal.
Note: This is a 1/48 scale plastic model kit. Assembly is required. No glue is necessary for a professional finish.
