Ah...I missed this one on it's first round. Very nifty, and also keeps the
part count down - TLG Marketing Dept. would be proud!
Way WAY back in the murky depths of childhood I remember this movie called
MegaForce (there was an ad for it on the back of almost every Marvel comic
of the time) that featured flying motorcycles with fold down wings very
similar to this. All I remember is some guy that looked like a BeeGees
roadie taking time out from the daring escape of his unit to go back to
General BadGuy's tank, knock on the hatch to proclaim,
'Hi! I just thought you should know, the good guys always win!'
Yikes.
Very nice design.
Cheers,
