HI everybody, after reading some of the posts here I thought I'd register and join in.
This was a fantastic set and I found it fun to build. I would say my bricks are only a little off white (say compared to photocopy paper), and uniformly so.
Has anybody else noticed the asymmetry of the roof, just below where the top 'wing' attaches? I initially thought I'd followed the instructions wrong but rechecked it and was accurate in my build. I've tried to find good pictures of the shuttle from other sources (wookieepedia and google) but none show that part in enough detail.
I was a little bit disappointed with the landing gear. Wouldn't it have been good to have retractable gear, like the Torrent, which lowers as the wings raise? Saying that, I don't see much need to remove it from the display stand as you can show off the wings in up or down posture.
