That's just regular L3P/POV-Ray output!
A photograph would probably have been worse- black usually doesn't show

It's too dense for TLG :( Also, TLG has never included a motor in a
Model Team set or even geared anything more complicated than steering.
(The X-22 has a motor inside which turns all four fans simultaniously at

with tilting rotors, for example)
