October 28, 20159 yr Looks great! I tried for hours and thought it impossible to replicate the 10212 cockpit design for minifig scale. But kudos to you! I want to do pretty much all the mods you did here at some point, I'm just too lazy to get around to it but I also have other projects so I'll use them as my excuse.
October 28, 20159 yr Very nice, the inside of the wings is the reason I didn't get this set because of how ugly the inverted studs looked, but this SNOT technique looks drastically better.
November 4, 20159 yr Right, thanks to this I now need to go out and buy a shuttle just to mod it like this! Great job!

November 5, 20159 yr Liking the cockpit design! Clearly the '10212' method using the white corner pieces works a lot better in this scale. I always thought using a stack of three resulted in way too much taper for the UCS version, but using only two rows yields a much better look with this mod. The second to last photo above really captures the smooth lines of this design - nicely done!
November 7, 20159 yr I like how you did your wings. Would you be able to share the breakdown (like what you did for the cockpit)? Thanks!
November 7, 20159 yr Author Maybe this pic can help: Not all the bricks are locking together with technic beam. Those color bricks are 1x1 technic brick with hole (only one is white) I use friction pin Edited November 7, 20159 yr by billyamy
July 19, 20168 yr Great mod, the cockpit finally looks like the real thing. Does anyone know what the part number is for the black curved pieces used for the edge of the windshield? Many thanks :)

December 12, 20177 yr Hi could you please upload the pics again? webhost has removed them :-( Â thanks!
March 21, 20222 yr Just stumbled upon this, mods look brilliant - and I like that you’ve kept the interior. Did you have instructions for the changes?Â
