This is my build. I'm a Stormtrooper on the the Death Star and when Darth Vader is not around I like to build models. Trying my first RC and first F1. Used to planes so hopefully this goes well. Let me know what you think.

The Force is not quite strong yet. Still debating whether to use the Dark side of the Force for this build or not. Hopefully Vader...uh..I mean Darth Vader sees it and gives me some Tutoring. I hear The Force runs strong with Mr. T though.

Issue 1-3 done and I must admit this front wing is stronger than I thought. It can support my whole body weight. This technology is quite something. Looking forward to the rest. Still not sure what to do with one wheel though. For now I'm just using it as a coffee table.

Sorry about the long delay. Apparently Deaggostini have been in meetings with Darth Vader about poor postage issues. I've been running errands all week. Looks like the issue got solved. I'm sure Darth Vader used a mind trick.Glare

Got my new parts and time off from building the Deathstar (more like the "work-me-to-Deathstar")
But alas, I got some time to build my RB7.

Had a lot of fun making the shock and filling the shock with oil. Shocking, but the Oil works well on my uniform especially on the gloves where there are parts that are stuck. (Found this out by accident when I spilled some on my gloves.) Quite a mission to get the air out of the shock, but in the end it's worth it. One down and three to go.
On a side note, I may even use the oil on my hair tonight. (I'm on prison guard duty and I hear Princess Leia is in Cell 215-B!!!! My block! I hope she likes the smell).
Took me a couple of hours but the beer at the end was worth it.

Thanks Warthog. Never judge a Stormtrooper on his size, remember it would only take one missile to destroy something as big as a DeathStar...not that that's even possible. It would be like Nico Rosberg purposely slamming into Lewis Hamilton to gain points position...it's not likely that would EVER happen ;)

Well, now that Fleet school is over, I can spend more time on my RB7 build. Just waiting for next delivery which is delayed (might have to do with Rebel forces attack on Endor...the Forest Moon. I dispatch comes from there)Mad

Okay, waited a long time for these parts. Had a bit of trouble making sure the right and left fork were correct, but after that it's a piece of cake.
Both front tires are done, very easy.
Seems like deAgostini made a print error on my mag and they printed the front right wheel assembly portion twice in two different issues.
I was looking forward to putting Vettel's helmet stickers on, but i guess that will have to wait till the next issue. Hopefully they'll fix that. Quite shocking that no one proof reads the magazine before going into print. If they worked for the Empire, Darth Vader would have choked hold their throat till their windpipe crushed. Luckily, they don't work for the Empire. On a more positive note, the new binder is pretty cool, and clicks nicely into place.
