Very cool! I'm amazed at how much detail you crammed into there. The top
intakes are so cool! Nice use of the bionicle feet\heads. The fold back
wings are nice too. It looks like it was designed after one of the earlier
Mig fighter craft, the name escapes me at the moment. But the wings on that
craft swept forward such as they do on your model, and it had the little
winglets protruding from under the cockpit area.
Very nice work,
