This is not a SNIR technique like we can see on 7191 or 10240 X-Wing (which are perfect match on those sets).<br /><br />As for the review, I am surprised Tim didn't wrote a single word about that terrible windscreen. Same for side windows at the rear.Aniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298931463121468725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-22820357497407365542020-04-21T07:49:01.818+01:002020-04-21T07:49:01.818+01:00Thanks for the reply!

Builders often prefer to leave stickers off rather than "limit" the element by applying. Given there are plenty of images elsewhere of how sets look with stickers, I'm happy to take this approach.

This is a classic sort of example where because of the half-stud offset between the hinge point on the 1x2 hinge plate and the centered stud attachment on the other end, the angle between those points on both the hinged section and the main build "mirror" one another.<br /><br />Speaking of those hinged sections, another neat technique is how the 1x4 brick with a groove for a rail is used on the door to close neatly over the protruding nub of the hinge plate!Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-80619222405693667162020-04-19T08:28:06.386+01:002020-04-19T08:28:06.386+01:00The tapering sides are perfectly in system.
