| I've finally taken pics of the project that preceded the Fuji Power Armor. I've dubbed this one simply "Project 1138" for now. It's an experimental aircraft, and an attempt to encorporate WWII styling into a "futuristic" aircraft. For the time (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

| Hokay. I'm not a vain man. I know that I am no, say, Brad Hamilton or Mark Sandlin. But I am genuinely curious- how is it that this post got absolutely no responses, either positive or negative?

| (...) *embarrassed cough* I uh, meant to go back and look at it, but I forgot. :^( It does seem rather X-Wing-ish, but I can see how it has a bit of WWII flair as well, like the partially open cockpit. I like the detailing in the cockpit. Lots of (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| I know I oohed and ahhed over it in person, but it's worth doing again. Sadly, the pictures don't really do the model justice .... it's difficult to get good feels for the aspects I liked the best from the photos. Ayway, I loved the air intakes - (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
