Well i think it is so you move sections between sets, right now My
Sith Infiltrator has a set of very non-stock wings on there ((hint
they black with blue accents...). Yesterday I had the cockpit from
that Tie Fighter fitted for yet another very different look.
The first major modification I did was to make a "hack" Viper. First
rip off the laser cannon pieces. Next remove both upper wings. Then
remove the hinge pieces from one of the upper wings and stick it
vertically in the center of the back of the former X-Wing. Voila! a
"hack" Viper. Not very detailed but quick.
