The mechanism for opening the back fuselage area consists of a small Technic sub-assembly that utilises a flexible Technic double axle connector, which has just enough give to be able to clip securely to the main build, or ease off when the smallest amount of pressure is applied. Put that negative to one side, and the rest of the build is actually really smart. 75221 Imperial Landing Craft was of a similar size and had an enclosed cockpit and nose area, so it’s surprising this model has neither. It’s very disappointing as the Imperial Shuttle ranks up there with one of the finest ships in the entire saga, and this just feels unfinished. What’s worse is none of the official photos on the box art really highlight this – the composition helps disguise it, and in one photo a human hand even blocks the offending area. While it can be appreciated that this wave of Star Wars vehicles is intended to offer classic vehicles at a reduced cost and piece count, there is still an expectation of a certain level of accuracy, detail and sophistication – and sadly this area of the model lacks all of the above. You’d be forgiven for thinking, “Where’s the rest of the front?” The final model is left with large gaps, exposed Technic pin holes and the appearance of just half a cockpit. The profile, however, just looks bizarre. Viewing the model head on, the cockpit looks exactly as it should. However, there is one major design flaw that is quite hard to look past. The cockpit sub-assembly attaches to the front via two clips, allowing it to hinge up and down. The windscreen too is just one large black trans-clear panel. Larger parts such as 2x2x3 slopes and 8×3 wedges help to create the perfect angles for the front, while at the same time giving the model a more solid look. The frame comes together quickly without too much fuss, and despite its size, some of the shaping remains very accurate and captures the iconic look of the on-screen vessel. With the fuselage constructed it’s on to the front nose cone and cockpit. A more involved and connected mechanism would have made for a more interesting build, as well as a more entertaining play feature to use. It works, but does feel a little too simple. To operate you’ll need to manually fold them up and down, and seeing as both are independent you’ll need to do them one at a time. The wings are connected to two Technic rotation ball joints on either side. The mechanism for the set’s main functionality, the folding wings, is also constructed at this early stage – well, ‘mechanism’ is probably a bit of a stretch. If you’re going to rule the galaxy with an iron fist, you might as well do it in style and comfort. By contrast, this model’s cockpit can only seat one.Ī mix of bricks and plates make up the floor space area, sides and seats, complete with what look like leather arm rests (represented by four 1×2 tan panels). The seating arrangement gives some idea of how scaled-down this model is compared to earlier versions, which had seating capacity for four in the back and two up front. You’ll begin by assembling the main fuselage, including the interior seating area, which is just large enough to house two minifigures. The build sits somewhere between the aforementioned 75904 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium and 2018’s 75221 Imperial Landing Craft, borrowing and updating certain design aspects from both sets. All of the model’s details come from either printed parts or brick-built exterior features. Inside the fairly sizable box can be found six numbered bags, one instruction manual, and – interestingly for a set this size – no sticker sheet at all.
