So, I got 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid for my birthday. Among other things, this meant that I now had Jango Fett amongst my minifigure collection. And I thought to myself: "Okay, he needs his ship." So I built it.

I decided to base it off of 7144 since I had most of the necessary pieces for that, though I did have to craft multi-part substitutes for a few things (Namely, the wings and the canopy). I did the best I could to follow the color scheme, though I was hindered on that front by not having certain wing plates in blue. I also made a couple of tweaks. First, I used binoculars and additional rod/wand pieces to give the main cannons a more accurate look (This is something that could have been done for the original 7144 set, and the lack of it is the one thing I can really fault that set for). I also added the smaller laser cannons near the cockpit, the ones Jango fires on Obi-Wan with in the dogfight over Geonosis. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'd still love to get the Episode II set some day, though.

The windshield is a little odd looking, and the colors are random in some spots. But overall, it's pretty good and has that old style star wars set look. I like it. :thumbup:

Well, it ought to have that old-style Star Wars set look; it's essentially a recolor of the original Slave I set from 2000. The windshield absolutely looks odd, it's something cobbled together to fill in for parts I don't have :tongue:

And thank you.
