Indeed, if the green bits were replaced with white it would remind me of
one of the Eagle spaceships from Space 1999. A bad Moon series as
opposed to bad Mars movie - close enough I think :-) I am still not
convinced this is an entirely bad thing, however.
I really like the use of the Slizer pieces in the grab of this model,
very creative IMHO. And as far as I am concerned, the wheels and tyres
on it are the business, some of the best looking Lego have made, which
also work well at Technic figure scale for trucks.
