I'm working on a rather ambitious project - a minifig-scale WWII/Korean War bomber (1 stud = 1 foot). It is the Navy's PB4Y-2 "Privateer", which is derived from the B-24. My dad flew Privateers in the Korean War (dropping flares, not bombs). So far (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build)

(...) I wouldn't even begin to know how to make a DAT of it... I may temporarily dismantle some of the primary components and take a few pictures if people really want to see some of the internal construction details. (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.military)

The most realistic Lego MOC i have seen, the smoothness helps a lot but the proportions and the angles are what makes it. Any chance of a DAT of it?
