Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by def

I'm rating this on the design and uniqueness. Space sets are hit and miss in terms of design. Sometimes they are ridiculous in a great, playful way, and sometimes they are simply ridiculous. This is the opposite, an attempt to do something that seems grounded in hard sci-fi.

Recommendation: meh by Farseer Petriel

Pros: Original design. Size. High mobility. Contains a part of Aero Tube Hangar. Interesting and unusual parts. Modular structure. No stickers. Usable box. Cons: Typical color scheme. Connecting hinges. Legs don't bend in knees. Leg and flyer nose prints have slightly different colors. A bulging top pin in the standard configuration - it can be easily eliminated by building a "centaur". Hard to find.
