As for the tail. Yep, more red would be a good thing. I can (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

Hi Lindsay Thanks for your comments and ideas. I have tried building wings with SNOT before with reasonable success: (URL) I hadn't thought about SNOT when I was building "the wing" but I think it would allow for more tapering. Bit worried about the (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
