Didn't really manage to open this set up till now as there wasn't a fully articulated magnaguard eariler on. With the release of the Vintage collection magnaguard, I finally have a pilot for this craft. Despite underscaled size, it is one toy that's loaded with play features, and looks realistic at the same time. Definitely a craft to add to one's ever-growing collection.

Thanks for reading.
