WF25GP BTTF MASHUP
Step 001: WF26 Mashup!
Here we go again...
"Dak to the Future" (per Bill George)
Aoshima released a wonderful new BTTF 40th Anniversary Kit and was to be used in the Wonderfest Group Challenge for 2026. Being a Star Wars crazy, I found that the OLD original issue MPC Snowspeeder would fit almost EXACTLY under the BTTF Delorean shell (with some "special modifications"...
Note: Group member ILMer Bill George named this!

Step 002: Fitment #1
Shocked
Takes a steady hand...

Step 003: Steady...

Step 004: Back it UP!
YESSSSSSS!!!!
Back that thang up...!
Aaaaannnddd... holy crap! The back sections ALSO fit together almost seamlessly! Feels like the two genres just were made for each other.

Step 005: Fitment #2
Insider Trading
Going to the Top...
Got the top interior reorged and carefully cut to fit over the bottom snowspeeder interior.

Step 006: Insider Trade
Merger!
These Trades are Accounted For...
More of the interior/insider merging... respecting the back-to-back two-seater layout of the snowspeeder but merged with the Delorean gadgets. Would not have been the same with just (easier to do) blacked-out windows!

Step 007: Paint Layers!
Respect the Kits
Planning makes Perfect...
Just like both interior and exteriors are merged, so are the paint schemes. LOTs of planning ahead as assembly requires multiple layers of paint color respect from the inside-out. Whew!

Step 008: Fitment #3
Coming Together
AWESOME!!!
Woah! The efforts PAID OFF! This looks like it is going to work awesomely!
Status: Completed
Step 009: Controls!
Dashing Dashboards
Control, Control, You Must Learn Control...
Loving it! The decision to not just black out the windows PAYS OFF! Totally worth the effort. And, the merging of both interiors was a WISE choice!

Step 010: Come Together
40 Years Merged!
Steady, steady...
Even the 40 year old decals worked out! Took a steady hand. Whew!

Step 012: On Tested!
Tested!
Recognized!
This group challenge at Wonderfest 2026 was so much fund! My mashup was the cover photo for the Tested! interviews and I was also personally interviewed by Norm for Tested! on this mashup as well as last years (museum-run) cutaway ISD.
So humbling and appreciative of the recognition!
