I'm using the base parts from the "official" Infiltrator to create a more
realistic one. So far, I've used every wing piece (dunno the number, the ones
used for the X in the X-Wing) I have to create a pretty good nose.
Unfortunately, it won't be fully color coordinated, given a lack of properly
colored pieces on my part, but I think I can swing a grey/white version that's
about right. I don't know how LEGO snuck this one past the "realism" control
folks at LucasFilms, but the LEGO version is about a third or so of what it
should be. It's ok for a miniaturized version, but it ain't the real thing.
Had I the funds (I'm nearly broke right now) I'd go buy a few more for parts.
