There is a flap at the front of the cockpit, when you lift it the front half
of the ship splits in 2 (the sides move apart, they're hinged to the rest of
the ship) to reveal the inside where there are some printed slopes for
instrument panels and a cargo pod on a magnetic catch (like the one on the
Battle Droid for the gun). At the rear are 2 panels on the sides that slide
away to reveal the rear of the main hold of the ship where there is a
printed tile on an extendable arm. There is also one of the new long sloped
bricks on the top that moves up and forward on an arm - no idea what that's
for! There's also a cupboard on each side to put stuff in. And the 2 guns on
the front and 1 on the rear have limited movement.
This is a great set - I have it in my living room on top of one of my
speakers at the moment, with Jango's Slave I on another speaker. I picked
most of the Ep2 sets up on Saturday at Beatties in Solihull except the
Technic ones (they had them though). At some point when I get my room
rearranged I might put my RBR up too, but at the moment my 8448 and Silver
Champion take up most of my shelf space :)

| (...) I saw some of the new sets in a toyshop today but didn't buy any. The big gunship look really awesome, and it seems that the top part detaches while the bottom half turns into some kind of a command base thing. Not sure if this also "happens" (...)
