Good evening,
when bricklinking the rebel snowspeeder in 2016 you come across with ridiculous part prices for the canopy and the orange parts.
I finished it a few weeks ago white - old gray - old dark gray - yellow and a mild colour mix with light bluish gray especially for the technic pin connectors.
Different to TLG Model is also a 360degree display stand which allows to show it different angles and different angles of inclination
For the canopy i used light-blue glasses all over, yesterday i ordered some different trans black parts for the front.
From what i see the best substitution for the windshield is part:
72475 Windscreen 3 x 4 x 4 Inverted
this is imho the only canopy in form and dimension which would and be a good substitute.
But what about the roof hinge, so far i use a white one, it could be decorated with "trans-black tiles 1x2" or and this is what i decided, i use 2x tile hinge part:
30350c Tile, Modified 2 x 3 with 2 Clips in trans-black colour
I´m open for any recommendations.
