There aren't too many super clever building techniques in this model. However, the studs forward and studs back core-construction at the center of the fuselage provided some great benefits while cursing me with some interesting problems. There are several places where two “female” sides of a plate or brick must butt together...with no connection save whim to speak of. Sadly, swooshability suffered as a result. All in all, however, I am very happy with the overall look. Though the profile isn't the most interesting, I feel that the classic space lines were preserved.
