The first thing I did on finishing the model was try that because someone
(cough cough) said something like that to me- and the weight of the bulk of the
fighter overcame the peg's holding tension, and the fighter plummeted the ~4

re-creating the scene in the trailer a little more realistically than I meant
to.
But, I got to re-build the model! :D
