How are you guys planning on painting these things? I was going to go for the standard grey and red... Then I saw this:

Looks pretty sweet!

That's a nice find! And no one can complain if they didn't like the color because Disney said it was ok

I figured at least one would be Gray/Red. Trying to decide on a different color scheme for the other one though. I like blue, I'm just not sure what I'd pair it with (and am open to suggestions). Gray would make it look more in line with the usual but it's fun to mix things up sometimes.

If I wanted to go wild with it I might consider doing a WW2 US Navy paint scheme like this:

Those are Royal Navy (UK) colors, but sure.

A thin yellow strip across the nose and down the sides could be very cool.

Oops! So it is

Here are some more I found:

I'm not a fan of the red, but the yellow stripes, or the blue one, look great!

Love that blue one—looks like a U-Wing. Think that’s what I’ll do.

interesting pic of rogue squadron x wing livery which could translate, which if iirc spent plenty of time in t47's anyway between hoth and the games

I thought this was really interesting in regards to the sandspeeder T-47. Never knew Kenner had one planned:

The Sandspeeder was planned to be implemented into Kenner's The Epic Continues storyline, but the line had been cancelled. It was included in a binder containing several images of planned toys within The Epic Continues, some of which later appeared in the article Tales of Phantom Toys in Star Wars Galaxy Magazine. It eventually appeared in canon with the Special Saga Edition of the Customizable Card Game, as one of the light-side cards.

I’ve been a SW collector/trader for 20+ years and never come across this for the vintage line. Thank you for enlightening me.

This would be great to see on the battlefield.

I'm confused. I've gone through my entire Imperial Assets Requisition Log, but can't find a reference to a "T-47" anywhere. Are you sure you didn't get the designation wrong? I did a comprehensive data search for "T-47" and the only reference I could find was in some old targeting routines in a recovered AT-ST data core. That can't be right. Nobody would willingly fly a rebel vehicle.

KrisWall, I think they may be referring to the 74-Z speeder bike. "Z" sounds like "T" and 47 is 74 backwards. Long live the empire!

They’re what we use for target practice

Definitely going Sandspeeder colors, but that's because I have sand bases. QUESTION! should I use a Brown Panel liner or black?

White to off white with a bunch of blue accents. Eventaully I'll mask off diagonal lines on the blue accents and fill them in with orange lines. Since orange and blue are opposites it'll look good.

Mine will be a light olive green with grey markings.

Not exactly a Sandspeeder, but my take on a T-47

Kenner had an entire line of what they considered "just off screen" vehicles and characters. You could say they created the first EU. They even conceptualized and designed a Clone Wars toy line way before Lucas decided to bring the Prequels to life.

Lego made a Sandspeeder set a short while ago. It looks somewhat similar to the Kenner one.

Colour scheme looks a bit more realistic than the Bright Orange of Kenner tho, so it might be the better painting choice.

Someone who knows how to use greenstuff could probably add the fins to theirs as well.

EDIT: I did a stupid and didn't look at the original post. Please ignore.

When I get around to painting mine I'll be doing the classic Hoth Rogue Squadron schemes, as seen in ESB.

Interestingly I painted mine similar to your inspiration, I am creating a desert theme for my Terrain so wanted a logical scheme, spending hours painting a sunset 360 degrees in all the windows of the mini is entirely optional.

Star Wars Legion - T-47 Airspeeder

Those window paintings are so freaking sweet! Fantastic work!

I've posted this before, but I went with a Phoenix Squadron theme.
