(...) Hi Justin, Thanks for the comments. Many people have mentioned the aircraft's nose. The nose on any jet is a very hard bit to get right (just look at LEGO's new Boeing 787 and you'll see what I mean). I have quite a few of those curved wedges, (...)

(...) I buy all of my Lego parts on www.bricklink.com. I haven't bought an actual Lego set in years. I just order the parts in the quantities and colors that I need, so I don't accumulate a large inventory of un-used or un-needed parts. Ryan (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
