Thanks Derek!
The back story on the W -
I was using red for the trim color, to match the red in the M-Tron hinge panels
over the rear landing gear. I wanted a logo on the wing, because many other CS
MOC’s had some sort of flag insignia built in - and the only decorated red tiles
I had were the M-Tron ones.
I actually wanted to make it an “E”, because I accidentally backed into Eastern
Block colors (mind control brought to you by Hoffman & Hallman), like some sort
of 1942 pinko-precursor invasion. It didn’t look good that way, and I figured I
could at least make it W for “flying Wing” if there wasn’t a decent CS backstory
to be written. The fact that Wyoming had strory elements decent enough to work
with was just another happy coincidence encountered while slappin’ the brick
around.
