UCS Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder - Enhanced Edition

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone - for those who already have or plan to buy and build the UCS Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder (set #75341), I've created an 'Enhanced Edition' of the model that you may be interested in!

Fixes and enhancements are:

- Reduced the length (by 2 studs) of the overly long nose of the standard model to give it a more accurate & balance look.

- Added forward and rear removeable panels to show new internal details including power plant and anti-grav units in the rear; and fuel tank, sub-frame, piping and cabling details at the front.  (I used the X-34 Landspeeder diagram from the Star Wars Complete Vehicles 'amazing cross sections' book as my reference when designing the internal details.)

- Fixed the left hand side & top wobbly engines issue.

Modification instructions are on Rebrickable here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-126009/Simon Lenz/ucs-landspeeder-enhanced-edition/#details

Thank you Neophyte_brickie - these mods certainly give this set the lift it needs! Let me know if you decide to mod your own set with these changes : )

Great work on all the mods. I don't know what specs Lego are working from but their recent Landspeeders all have long noses. I modded my 2020 playset one with Ron McPhatty's design and it makes the proportions much better. Good job doing the same on this model.
