An original R2-D2 built from a 1980's MPC model kit. This kit was highly modified for accuracy and built at Industrial, Light and Magic. The entire top dome was cut and modified to match the original prop.
Originally built for the Sept. 11, charity auction to benefit families of the World Trade Center disaster, this model was ultimately not submitted. It has been kept safe since 2001 and is now offered for sale through Hollywood Heroes.
Of special note, the paint used on this kit is the exact paint used on the prop. Simply known as "R2 white," the master model builder duplicated the paint scheme in white and blue, exactly matching the droid on film.
This product was added to our catalog on Friday 09 June, 2006.
