Why are parts of the laser guns on the port side tan, but they are • completely
grey on the starboard side?

That shows someone wasn't paying attention when they built the model.  The
two top lasers should have the tan pieces.  That's what color they're
supposed to be.  I have a large ILM book with several good photos of the
production models and that color is accurate.

Also, the top starboard laser "barrel" appears to have a ridged hose • aloing
it, whereas the lower one is smooth barrels.  Difficult to see what's on • the
port side.

This is also an attempt to replicate an often unnoticed texture detail in
the production model.  The laser barrel is supposed to have a dark blue or
purple stripe swirling toward the tip like the red stripe in a barber pole.
This really impressed me the first time I noticed it.  It means they spent a
lot of time scrutinizing the most accurate model and remembered such
details.

I REALLY hope there are more of these sets and I hope we hear about them
soon!
