yeah, haven't seen the movie since i was a kid. There are a few clips on youtube, and I'm impressed with the special effects from the 80's.

If I remember right, Starfighter had quite a bit of computer generated special effects for the time it came out. They did not do use models and then move the camera about the models to simulate the ships traveling.

Here's an alltime favorite of mine from the 1953 movie "War of the Worlds".

(If you look closely in this picture, you can see the strings holding the Martian ship up!)

I always liked the X-Wing and the Snowspeeder...

But to leave Star Wars, I also like Wing Commander's Vampire fighter...

... And the Banshee fighter.

My parents best friends (Jack and Ellen) just gave me a vintage snowspeeder that Jack got from his fathers house when they were cleaning it out after his father passed away. It's missing the lighted laser tubes, but other than that, it's pretty cool. Also got a old remote controlled R2D2 that goes forward and back, plus few other items. I was excited. Never had the snowspeeder growing up!

[Messy1]

That one did cross my mind muller, did not know if anyone else would remember that one! that was cool in its own right.
