yeah, you have to check how thick the diorama is to tell if its going to be even decent or not. When those dragon ones are too thin, you have an idea how flimsy it will be.

Lets not forget out Intruders as well!
nose gear isn't squashed into the cat position, but still looks good to me!

I Do wish they had included more/better deck crew figures with it, though...

If you're game for some kits and don't mind painting the figures...here's one from eBay that might interest you?

I got a few of those! 2 of the white figures in my pics are unpainted figures from that set

[FormerViperDriver]

Yeah, pretty neat Fly. I'm going to have to get me one of those.

Thanks for the tip!
