The Shrike Interceptor is built for high speed and maneuverability. The wings sweep to three different positions: when straight out, they provide the most lift for takeoff and landing; when swept forward, they increase maneuverability at sub-mach (...)

VERY NIIIICE!! :^D YEAH! I like how you found a use for those bionicle heads! (I'm right, aern't I? Those are bionicle heads that the guns are attached to, right?) I think you have captured the essence of most of the cool features of conventional (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)

Is that Orange or is the color balance really off on your camera/picture? The reason I ask is that looks like a classic space minifig body but it's quite orange on my computer. Dont remember an orange minifig classic space guy. Other than that, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) My camera seems to read red as orange, especially in close-up shots. Since I'm color blind, it doesn't bother me as much. I prefer it reading orange instead of magenta, as some cameras tend to do. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)

I saw this last night and I must say, it's pretty cool! I like all the features you crammed into the model. The movable wings are great, as is the landing gear. The opening cockpit reminds me of the Daredevil Flight Squad set (6582). Anyways, great (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)
