Not true -- just one element is in dispute, the front cab windshield.  What
other element did you have in mind though?

The large trans-smoke corner panels in the "Artist's Rendition" shot.  Those
were clearly there just for decoration, but it gave me something else to
whine about.

BTW, did you get that the whole thing comes apart and is VERY modular? The
main components are: the front cab, storage container, back section
container/engine with hind flipper, 2 wings/flippers which can be placed on
either container, and the back fin which can also be placed on either
container.  I wondered if I should have included another image of the
components unassembled...

I saw that it was modular, but I didn't study the images closely enough to
see that the wing/flippers could also be moved.  I figured they were
attached to one of the extension modules.

BTW Tony, I had a frightful experience a few weeks back that might interest
you.  What had happened, you see, is that I clicked on your hafheaddotcom
header...::shudder::...at which point I ran from the room shouting, "MY
EYES! MY EYES!..."

Heh- did you click it again?  I assault your ears as well on the second
easter egg.  Admittedly, the image isn't quite as disturbing.
