The one thing about this set that's eating at me are the stickers.
Unfortunately, most of the stickers that go on the shuttle are
Stickers-Across-Multiple-Pieces (STAMPs)...

I've successfully used a pen knife AFTER I've applied the stickers to separate
the sticker into it's brick-appropriate separations.  You don't have to push the
blade hard at all, and the seam between bricks guides the cut.  actually, i
think i successfilly separated the stickers with my fingernail too (as long as
they're not too thick/plastic-covered glossy).  i had no problems damaging the
bricks, etc.  I suppose for a super clean cut, one could use an exacto blade.

(...) [ snip -- well done review ] (...) Hi Huw and Others, I built mine yesterday and agree this is a fantastic set. It's very much like Model Team, Star Wars UCS, and LEGO Direct's sculptures/famous-planes sets. Lot's of detail, no juniorization. (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)
