It isn't as technically challenging a design as the first one, but it does
look closer to The Real Thing.

It does indeed.  And it looks even more similar to my half-completed model
than your first one.  You've switched over to using the old-style Lego
airplane tail parts, which I also use.

You still don't show how you placed the retractable front wheel.  But seeing
the amount of space that you allow yourself, I can see how it would be more
feasible.  Version 2 is one or two studs longer than version 1, correct?

Have you noticed that, when you're building minifig-scale replicas of
relatively small real-world objects, like vehicles, they actually come out
larger than The Real Thing?  Larger objects, by contrast, are "selectively
compressed."


Play Well!
