Wings

The alternative model's wing layout, guessed from the box picture.
-
Wing assembly
20051229
It took 3 layers of tiles, mostly triangular, to make the wings sturdy enough for display. This is all improvisation as the box art doesn't expose the bottom of the model.
-
Wing bottom
20051229
Detail of wing bottom structures, by guess-work.
-
Top of wings
20051229
The wing top surfaces were relatively easy, as the box shows one of them at a good angle.
-
Bottom of wings
20051229
Strengthening the bottom of the wing by guess-work.
-
Center section bottom
20051229
The center section's bottom front, by guesswork.

Cockpit area

Cockpit area with as many panels as I could cram in. Top cover removed.

Rear deck area
20051231
The micellaneous bits between cockpit and gun platform. The hinges are at the wrong level. They should be one brick-height lower.

Rear wall of cockpit between two triangular sections. Cockpit pieces attach to this wall.

Cockpit assembly
