Thanks for the review CopMike.
And don't worry about getting this into the Review Index.
I'll fix it later so that it fits :thumbup:

Oh wait, you were referring to the Academy :blush:

No matter, it still goes into the Index :grin:

I wish I had your connections for getting one of these :look:

Nice little review, wish I had one of those.

So am I still waiting, for this world to stop hating. Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in.

I think the middle wing is too long. but is a nice little ship any way. I found Chris Deck's to be more accurate though...

Wrong tread - this one is ABOUT the set itself. Please enter in this tread.

cool, can I have a coffe too? with lots of chantilly on top? :grin:

Thanks for the pics.

The central wing connection looks a bit weird, though. But I suppose the play feature would make up for it...

Nope.
So far this has been released only as a promotional set for special occasions.
Check Bricklink and eBay often from now on
