I cannot understand how they managed to make this thing so ugly. Please see

He is using the cockpit of the Naboo-Fighter. TLC is sitting on the right
piece and doesn´t use it ! WHY ?

Well, I don't think either one is a perfect solution.  The Naboo Fighter canopy
gets too narrow at the front (as oriented on the Naboo Fighter) to be the top
of Slave 1's cockpit.  and I think I'd rather have the two smoke hinged pieces
as "spare parts" than another Naboo Fighter canopy.

I agree, the Naboo/A-wing cockpit is close, but not too small and
narrow at the top.  I used 2 of them in my version of the Slave I
( http://minispy.tripod.com/starwars/slave.html ), but
the perfect solution would be to use the type of canopy they did
use, but replace the squared-off slant peice with a new rounded-off
peice.  The way they have it now is OK, but a 4x4 quarter-sphere window
that could attach to the 4x4 window extender would be too cool.
that, or an even *larger* Naboo style window... <drool!>

cheers!
