Just received my latest and I'm confused with the doors, the ad states that the model has door and Windows with opening and closing mechanisms but the window is screwed on to the door so cannot move?

It is just the doors that have an opening and closing mechanism

Phew, just done the left hand door, the hardest bit so far. Those MP02 screws so difficult if you have large fingers. Most satisfying though to see the finished door. Be careful putting the finishing trim upper panel as its a b***** the get past the door handle.

Those little screws can be a bit fiddly to get in even for me with smaller hands, I tend to use a magnetised screwdriver which helps a lot Cool

I also finds a magnetised screwdriver makes a big difference as the millennium falcon also has tiny screws. Stops you dropping the screws every few minutes
