The H wing is absolutely terrific, I think my favourite of your alphabet spaceship series so far! In fact it gave me a great idea for a spaceship; if the droid escape pod wall part in the middle swiveled around, one could use it to house either (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Great, Jon! The S-Wing gave me a good laugh, because the Space Cruiser (S stands for Space, then?) happens to be one of my first sets, too. And the H-Wing is absolutely beautiful. I never cared much for the sideways canopies, but in this model it (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)
