CIS took the colorful (for Star Wars) fighters of the Trade Federation and decided that it was high time they got back to the grayscale conformity Star Wars ships must have! At least they added some nice deep blues in some places. Since this was a theme of coloring ships, I wanted to do a scene where recoloring is central to the story, even though it's actually about how the rare-colored ship defying the traditional greyscale palette was made grey. Both ships' parts are identical, but different colors, so the new blue variant is just there for the story.

The vulture ended up with some really interesting "connections" where it's actually a 63586 rangefinder accessory and a 15392 launcher trigger keeping the 1x1 trans-red tiles in place, and which was needed since, to my surprise, there were no 1x3 trans-red tiles and a traditional connection wouldn't fit. The missile attachments also work very well despite not being a traditional connection, and there's some more part trapping in the wings. Overall, there's nothing that is illegal to my knowledge. The vulture is very swooshable and can transform into walk or flight modes. I'll make a free set of instructions for it when I get some spare time.
