That old trick, ay?

Well the main problem with the ship is that with the 928, 924, 918 ships
the wing space slowly gets smaller but still keeps the same width of
windshield, this one couldn't really get any smaller compared to the
918. The mailbox is wrong because the 918 didn't open at the back at
all - that's the only ship I have in the series - it's a great ship.

You'll have to try better next time when you construct 908 Promotional
Polybag - only available in Europe set :-)
P.S. I've always wanted to do such a thing as make a smaller ship, I
was thinking along the lines of making the cockpit 2-wide - a bit like
the small Space Police set - 6813?
P.P.S. Just what is that white laser gun thingy in the background?
(Pictures 9 and 10), also what is that tan coloured thing on Pictures 1
and 2?
