The nice new cockpit print for the latest Y-Wing left me thinking that a few of my other SW sets could use a cockpit upgrade. The worst offender being the 75049 snowspeeder, which still uses the same windscreen used in the first snowspeeder set released nearly two decades ago. I fully realize there are better snowspeeder MOCs out there, but this is a nice easy fix to make the current official set look a little bit more like the actual movie model. It retains the two-stage opening mechanism of the original set, and is both robust and easy to open. Getting rid of the old snowspeeder cockpit also had me wondering whether the 9493 X-Wing, which uses the same piece, might look better with the new cockpit part used on the more recent resistance X-Wings. I've opted for the trans-black unprinted version, which also happens to match the substitution I've made on my UCS X-Wing (switching from the stickered trans-white to a plain trans-black 12x6x2 piece). Let me know what you think, or post and discuss your own cockpit mods and solutions.
