Your Kestrel puts me in the mind of a godawfully effective psuedo-fighter more than anything (Psuedo-fighter, a plane about the size of a small bomber, or overly large fighter, more heavily armed, normally somewhat faster and usually only slightly (...)

Hi Sun Thanks for the info. Regarding Gallidor - I live in Denmark, (25 mins from Billund!) and you just can't find Gallidor anywhere. Closest I got was an auction on ebay.uk. Anyway, I don't think I am missing too much. But I am curious to see (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Great tanks. I have a question though - almost embarrassed to ask - where do you get the tracks from? I bought the technic "power puller" a while ago and thought I had solved that question. But alas, I would need a hell of a lot of power pullers to (...) (21 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military)
