Thanks! Of course the hatch works when attached... How else will they get
the spamcake cargo aboard :-). Anyway, that white front wedge came from an
old (and very cool) police helicopter set from around 1996. I hated to
break it up, but I needed the piece. I did put the regular round nose cone
on the plane. It just didn't work. The faceted one blended very well. I
just wish they made a white whip antenna.
