STUDZ Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 "Red Five, standing by." Looking good. Better than the original one they did back in 1999, if memory serves me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobExplorien Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I hardly know anything about Star Wars, but the wing-movement looks amazing. McStudz is right, it certainly looks bigger and more detailed than the one they did in 1999. I got that set in front of me now, and see the differences.
