How would it have looked like? Maybe this way: Light grey with green windows and red rims.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I always wanted to have the 6927 set and now I was lucky to get one when I bought the whole Classic Space collection from one of my earliest and best friends. It should become part of my CS Moonbase, but the white\/blue colour scheme didn&#8217;t really fit into the look of the base. I had\u00a0 to change the look a bit to get it right.<\/p>\n<p>I still wanted to have a contrast between the vehicle and the small control station, so I chose the light grey\/trans-green colour scheme from other sets from 1979\/1980. The green windscreens are quite rare. I decided to order three of them in the US via BL instead of placing two or three orders in the EU.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to have a real 1980 look. With a few modifications I was able to replace the new parts from 1981. And this is it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1941-dsqz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2006 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1941-dsqz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1941-dsqz.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1941-dsqz-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1941-dsqz-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFront left view: Six 2&#215;3 inverted slopes to replace the big inverted window.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1943-dsqz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2005 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1943-dsqz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1943-dsqz.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1943-dsqz-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1943-dsqz-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nRear left view:\u00a0 The control station fixed to the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1944-dsqz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2001 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1944-dsqz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1944-dsqz.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1944-dsqz-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/brix.nilso.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_1944-dsqz-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nUnloading: The control station is unchanged.
