So you're right, that would make the prop 'engine turbines' slightly 'higher' in these shots than they would have been if they had been (correctly) closed when the X-Wing headed down to Dagobah.

But this unfortunately means that the middle 'horizontal' detail of the engine turbines also have an incorrect 'slanted angle' in these shots, because the wings are in the 'open' position. (this image gives a good idea of what I mean) -

(and here's your example pic again, which shows the incorrectly 'angled' engine detail a little better, without being obscured by your red outline) -

It's one of these little things that I've never actually noticed before, and I'm not sure it's something that can be rectified without a lot of additional work. No biggie in the scheme of things, then. :)

I also think that the small section you highlighted in your pic above just happens to be part the *lower section* of the engine turbine itself - but the strange thing is that it looks a bit 'thicker' than the top section. I always thought that the rim of the 'circular' engine turbines was roughly the *same* thickness at the top and bottom...so that might just be down to the prop buiders, as some of their stuff is 'off' compared to the miniature work in a few instances. On the other hand, some of the images of this circular rim seem to vary in thickness compared to others, anyway.

ah well, that solves some questions, so only one turbine is "wrong" ;-)

but about that ring, it is correct and slightly moved, meaning unlike in the screenshot of the game X-Wing, the turbine front is not a clean circle (but it would be if the bottom rim was as broad as the top one)

PS: @Adywan:

Great work on the HiC and wish I needed trees, but I only collect ships ;-)
