One in particular would serve as the basis for this minikit.

Mini Review
This minikit is the second one to be based on a retail model, and the build is nearly identical to the 4493 Sith Infiltrator. This means that the build overall is enjoyable and goes together well. Compared to the retail model a few changes have been made by swapping a few of the plates. The container at the rear of the ship is weakly attached but adding the printed dish on top makes it more stable. The two printed elements are unique to the set and would be the most difficult to acquire. However, buying the retail set and the couple of additional parts that are swapped is the most economical way to complete this minikit.
