Hey everybody i just picked up a pretty decent shaped defiant for a very fair price. Other than a bunch of odds and ends, that i will need to buy, the only major thing it was missing was the top space shuttle.
I ordered one on ebay and am waiting for it to be delivered. The only question i have ,that i am hoping someone can anwer, is does the Crusader shuttle(the black winged) come with the "eye" part underneath that allows it to latch onto the "hook" part on top of the booster? I realised after that the shuttle that came with the defiant was all white and had slight differences like the crane arm and lack of avenger shuttle, but i wasnt sure if that one only came with the part to latch onto the booster. I hope this is a non issue cause i got the black winged one coming but if anyone knows an answer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance |

Yeah I've had thought to track down a seperate crawler, and booster so that I could make my Crusader a whole unit...until I finally got a Defiant...and while I'd imagine adding the connector to be a pretty easy task, I realized I have NOWHERE for two of those beasts...and I'd have a hell of a time explaining to the wife why I need two of those...she was pretty mad at the one but I got my way then...maybe one day.

I just need a crawler for mine, but at the rate I have seen them going foe, I may as well just pick up an entire Defiant. Sucks, cause I was hoping to piece one together like I have Flaggs. It's usually cheaper in the long run. Just out of the parts on Ebay a person can piece together a 90% complete Flaggs. Leaving only the hard pieces that will be expensive.. i.e. Fan tail Railing, Mast Cap.

crusader fits if you dont ever want to move the crawler around. if you are looking for the metal clamp hook, I would suggest getting a defiant (shuttle only) that is really yellow and missing fins and other "rarer" parts, those go for around $40 on the bay from time to time

Every once in a while the parts needed to convert the Crusader shuttle so it can latch onto the booster are sold on ebay. I bought a lot just for this purpose back in November.
