Wow! I've seen the miniatures of the various planes and almost bought them
just on coolness factor. If there's a video game coming out I'll have to get
it (well, depending on gameplay. I'm kinda fussy).
Still, seeing some of these alternate-WWII planes in Lego would be really neat.
Maybe I'll have to give some of thema go as well...
There was a comic book a while back (2-3 years) called "Luftwaffe 1948" that
was a kind of alternate-history story where the Luftwaffe had planes so
advanced that WWII dragged on past it's normal timeframe. You might want to
seek out some of those books, too, if this kind of plane design really excites
you.

This is sooo cool. I love the color, shape and the real world look of it. You
have set off a chain reaction of similar alt-history/universe aircraft designs i
have stored in my brain, like “Warriors of the Wind” and Ben Dunn’s great
comics.

Well here is my shot at a plane.
From their hidden base in the Rockies of Canada come a band of Air Pirates
called: The Northern Knights. They wage combat in the Avro F202 “Tornado”
fighter.

Awesome! And an Avro to boot! The colours scheme is right on...the checkered
bits particularily.
Great stuff Jamie...hopefully Canuck reinforcements from the Queen’s Royal
Squardron will soon arrive.... ;)

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a peregrin! It’s a maple leaf! No it’s a...
GUARDIAN!
Let a Canuck know what you tink.
Maple syrup,

Kudos to those out there that can name the inspiration of both ship and pilot
names
