I'm in the middle of a custom build right now. I've added heavier guns to the chin, scratch built Gatling laser pods in place of the original weapons, and a commander's cupola from a 1:48 Panther tank w/ a heavy repeating blaster on the ring mount on top. I'm also adding some heavier armor around the cockpit. She's going to be painted in a camo of Ghost Grey overlaid by German Grey tiger stripes, with a snarling mouth & 4 eyes. I even have some Aurebesh (Star Wars alphabet) decals to spell out her name: "Bad Kitty". I plan to add an armored glass effect in each of the 2 cockpit windows. I still need to get a 1:48 Stormtrooper to stand in the commander's cupola.

You probably know this by now but the reason every part has a ‘locator tab’ is because the kit is designed to be snap-fit. Those tabs are actually supposed to hold the kit together through friction.
