I know. It's really a drawback to the piece, but if the rest of the colour

cover them with panzer-esque armour, but it just looked to busy with it. I
believe there are some hubs used in the upcoming SW 2002 sets....I hope some
of them are grey or d grey.

As a heavy atmosphere fighter, the dishes are a linked displacement array,
forcing the heavier, ionized atmosphere out of the way, allowing the craft
to achieve respectable speeds.

started out as an update to the classic space transport, but sort of got
away from me and turned huge. Oh well.
