Cool! A contest to make a space creation that looks like my favorite pre-jet-era aircraft!!

I’d suggest an “extra points” contest to get the cockpit entry as close to the original as possible. (For those unfamiliar with the P-38, the top center portion of the canopy hinged up and to the rear, and the rectangular panel to the pilot’s left slid down like an automobile window). I’m trying to find a pic to link to, but work is getting in the way...

Check out the links available for P-38s, as there were several variants that would make interesting space subjects -- night fighter (with radarman hunched over a scope in a cramped extra space up and behind the pilot’s cockpit); glass-nosed version, etc.

Hey guys. It's time for a contest: (URL) Like the page says, this is a contest for spacecraft that look like the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. I figure we can use a poll here on LUGNET to decide the winner, unless we get a massive amount of (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX) !!
