Hello all, I've tried to build one of the (URL) set #4403 Air Blazers> alternatives that doesn't have full instructions: the jet fighter with two parallel tails and adustable wings.

(...) Thanks :-) I particularly like the fact that the effect is easier to achieve with Lego in 8mm scale than in HO or OO in 3.5mm or 4mm scale. Using SNOT with grille tiles gives a finer grille than just alternating plates, and there's some relief (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) This is an interesting technology and great Mech -- thanks. I have a few questions for either Eric or MC7 -- I noticed that some of the joints have multiple ball joints. Does that stiffen the joint and at the same narrow movement to one axis? (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I don't know if it really matches a Peterbuilt or a Mack but ye-Gods man, I'd say you have one awesome looking truck none the less. It certainly appeals to me, and once again reminds me that 2005 is going to be a banner year for Lego sets. Out (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
