YES Morph i must admit when i see it in the film i thought about building one about 3ft long but never got any further on it as was to busy building warships
but i aggree it would be a heck of a model makin it so that all the wings all folded out like in the film

Yes it looked good from what we could see in the photos, shame you gave it away Chris, seeing it photoed today it would be even better.
