I don't know about that. Pat Justison picked my T-16 from the Snowspeeder
set over both an A-Wing and a B-Wing made from the X-Wing set. I'm not sure
I like the T-16 as a model as much as the A- or B-wings, but it was a much
more difficult project, and I would guess Pat's choice reflected that.
Most very small sets are difficult to make good alternates from, though. I
tried to make a flash speeder from the land speeder set, and I couldn't even
get it to where my son would say "Oh, yeah, that's a flash speeder from EP1."
