Thanks Merseajohn, he's an ace builder and I'm sure he worked on SW but not sure which???
Gonna drop him a line to see if he'll give me some pointers...
The kits are great, one has a broken lug inside for sticking the two halfs together and also missing the paperwork but the other is complete and in fantastic condition.
I think I'll build the lesser of the two as you wouldn't know once built and the other might be worth keeping as-is for now????

That fighter design with the wings and guns is based on a concept for a Mini-Rig vehicle that Kenner was designing in the final days of the vintage action figure line - http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=49129

The wedge shaped one is another mini-fighter design that came with a new ultimate Falcon that Hasbro released a couple of years ago - http://www.rebelscum.com/tlcBMF.asp - near the bottom of the page.

I must've been a VERY GOOD boy as the parts from SSM came today, and the Haynes book came earlier in the week..... ;D ;D ;D
