—————————————–

The 1997 film, Starship Troopers, brought to life Robert Heinlein’s same-titled book with Academy Award nominated Visual Effects and terrifying fight scenes against the Arachnids from Klendathu. One of the most memorable scenes of Starship Troopers is the Battle of Klendathu, where a Corvette Transport ship called the Rodger Young 176, is one of the few ships that manages to survive, piloted by Carmen Ibanez, played by Denise Richards. With her expertise, the Rodger Young 176 makes it out of the battle with only moderate damage, until later, in the Invasion of Planet P, the Rodger Young 176 is torn in two by a Plasma burst.

This impressive, studio-scale resin kit is 35″ long and includes two command towers, pre-astroid and after. The Rodger Young was mastered by Fon Davis from the original molds, decals by JT graphics, with instructions and photo etched parts by Richard Long. Chronicle Collectibles is proud to present the most accurate Rodger Young model kit ever offered for sale. It has been channeled for electronics, but they are not included.

There have been several model makers who have offered to build these kits for less experienced model builders. Richard Long is a very talented artist that we use for scratch building ships and prototypes; he is highly recommended by Chronicle Collectibles. It is not guaranteed that he has the time to build your model and he is not professionally affiliated with Chronicle Collectibles, so he must be contacted directly; we do not speak for him. For price quotes and scheduling, please use our contact form and leave the best contact information for us to reach you. Also, look to our thread on the StatueForum for other artists who are interested in being paid to build your kit.
