(...) Yes, that's really the reason for the new grey setting. It shows up the black better, but then the grey background itself shows up so well that it has to be moderately detailed, though it's difficult at such a large scale. The smaller hangar (...)

(...) Thanks! Actually I picked this plane partly because I wouldn't have as many tricky curves. The plane was known as the "flying boxcar" by some. The wings' airfoil shape was probably the hardest curve to get right. --Bill. (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)
