Yeah, it looks like the only difference in the front cockpit design is that
theirs is thicker by 1 plate, and it has a hinge in the front. But then again,
you could modify yours slightly to do this by using the grey double-wedge piece
instead of the two side-sloped pieces, which allows room for the 1x2 hinge on
the nose... But as I found out earlier, it seems this piece was only released
in 1 set in gray (and now I have 9 of 'em!) so it's not an easy piece to come
by... Otherwise, your cockpit and theirs are identical-- same canopy, same
underside, same siding, etc...
But otherwise, yeah, I think I like your version better... the bottom fin is
just too flimsy looking on their model-- and their engine looks a lot wider
than yours does.. a bit TOO wide if you ask me...

Very true... in some ways I guess that can be disappointing when we see what
TLG 'could' have done to improve their stuff (without any new Jr.-ized pieces
no less!).. it probably gives us higher expectations than in other themes...
but it is certainly cool, nonetheless!
