It is a very nice job. In my traveling around D.C. on a nearly daily basis (not on the metro, but around it in my car) you can see how close it is to the rreal thing. What would be nice is if it could be modified to be put on a monorail base which (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, 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)

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 (...)
