In this video I will take you through all you need to know to be able to convert your 2012 UCS R2-D2 (Lego set #10225) into a stunning R5-D4 Astromech Droid as designed my Miro Dudas. This is by far the best mod I've built all year and I think if you take this on, like me, you will delighted with the finished R5-D4 model! ...and it makes for the perfect display companion for the new 2021 UCS R2-D2 model (Lego set #75308).
