| Hello Everybody! I just wanted to present my newest airplane MOC: the Messerschmitt Me 323 Transporter. I presented this model at the fan event in Frechen together with a little diorama: (URL) information about the actual building of the model: It (...)

| (...) Magnus, Thanks for the comments. You can squish 15 troops inside plus the driver and gunner in the seat shown. If you're really into the harsh reality of militaristic economics, you can get about 22, maybe 23 tops in there ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul. (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) Thanks Marco! The steering front and back are not connected. Would be a great idea though and totally possible. There's enough room under the vehicle with a slightly modified floor. And plus my son likes driving the vehicle sideways with both (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

My dad bought me that set way back then and it was a favourite because it had steering that worked and a simplistic engine with moving piston when you pushed it along the floor. (...)

| Hello Paul, this is a true spotlight! I just had to login and answer. I like the details of the interior. And I love the playability. Great work. I wonder how you did that sliding door.

The guns pointed sideways and the whole turret then traveled backwards and then down the back until it was tucked in behind so they could (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

| (...) Hi Paul, You keep sneaking these things past me by not cross-posting to a theme group. I really love this.
