 | | Piece needed to finish MOC Naboo Fighter

I wasn't at all pleased with the Naboo Fighter set, so I redesigned it to more closely match the movie ship. I've finished the Ldraw File, but I'm missing one piece... I know it has been asked for before, but I don't remember if anybody ever (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
