Tim & All, (...) a lot of fixup, but can be done. Horrible use of multiple colors and gaps in the hull, however. Same thing with the AAT. Pod racer bucket? I wonder what that will be like?

(...) AcK. Ack ack ACk. That Falcon looks like Bantha poodoo, to quote Sebulba. ACK. However, I still can't get over just how nice the AAT turned out! It's a magnificent looking set--and for $20 a pop, I might get a few at list (!!). best, Lindsay (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
