Upon hearing of the P-38 contest in .space, the guys down at Moonbase County
Hoverbikes deciced to pay homage and design a P-38 theme hoverbike. So after
many nights of fabricating, building and an occasional arguement here and there,
this was their end result:
Post mod
I thought I would have some fun and incorperate a bit of one of my favorite
shows into the story behind it (American Choppers). I hope you enjoy it.

| (...) Well Jamie, that's a very succinct staement. It very clearly says 'P-38' while being its own boss self. I like the American Choppers angle. I think we should do some kind of Choppers/ Monster Garage/ Trading Spaces sort of thing in LEGO. (...) (21 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Well, I think your entry is the most original so far. Cool idea. I also like the minifig verions of Paul Jr & Sr. So are the "propeller disks" functional or are they bits of metal that paulie tacked on to make it look cool :-) I really like (...)
