Awesome, Bram. Got any more angles of it? And as Ralph said, good use of that
wide very low slope piece. I bought a level crossing just to get a couple of
those in gray, and have yet to find a good use for one.
I love aircraft, but they are a tough subject to do. I tend to be overly
critical of form, and lego rarely lends itself well to the subject. So while I
have tackled a few, I rarely like my results. :-/
The only quibble I have about your version would be to lower those 4 jet engine
pieces so they meld into the rear wing, rather than go over it - I think that
might match the example a little better.
Another aircraft that _might_ do well in Lego is the V-22 Osprey. Which your
model has a passing resemblence to.
