I would imagine it's because the ship does not figure prominently in the movie.
We see it flying in to Tatooine, we see Darth Maul walk out of it, that's it.
I was pleased to observe the second time I saw the movie that there's a
full-sized door into the nose of the craft, which will help me in my building
of a to-scale version of the Infiltrator. I don't think any other company
(other than perhaps the Micro-Machines) has an Infiltrator model, at least not
that I've seen.
Based on the incredible cross-sections book and some (potentially) faulty math
on my part, I figure a to-scale Sith Infiltrator should be ~80 studs long, with
the nose being ~53 studs long and 6 bricks high at the end. I might fudge that
a bit for playablity (make it higher).

| (...) I saw a small (like 6 pieces or so) 3D-puzzle Infiltrator and maybe a few other Infiltrator items at WalMart. Plenty of Naboo Fighter stuff, though. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
