I’m including Town because that’s the closest minifig theme, and while it is roughly minifig scale the minifigs can’t fit inside due to all the mechanical and structural parts. And I’m including my local and club groups. I wish we had lugnet.build.aircraft, but there is no such thing.

William,

Wow, this is awesome. It’s hard to capture a streamlined shape in Lego, but you’ve captured a DC-3, I didn’t even need the name to recognize it.

Thanks,

George
