Happy Star Wars day!
Thanks to Andy for organising this GB, here's my entry:

Quite a bit of very crisply moulded plastic in the box, and a choice of stickers or decals for the markings:

An example of the surface detail. Unfortunately most of this will be completely hidden once closed up:

I've also got some Ewok & Stormtrooper figures as I'm hoping to make a diorama base:

I made a start this morning, ignoring the suggested build sequence and clipping off all of the cockpit related parts:

I did a test fit to see what would be visible and need painting. Note the strange forearms on the figures, I'll get back to that:

Because this is a snap together kit, disassembly after a dry fit was tricky. A couple of spudgers helped a lot:
