(...) I had to buy the canopies on BrickBay. I bought quite a few parts on BrickBay in fact, mainly for the turrets, but also some of the slopes in the tail. It's not at all easy to build a model this big, and it takes up a lot of brick. Just about (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks! Actually I picked this plane partly because I wouldn't have as many tricky curves. The plane was known as the "flying boxcar" by some. The wings' airfoil shape was probably the hardest curve to get right. --Bill. (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Bill, Wow, this is fabulous, a great model considering the tricky curves you have to emulate in Lego. George (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Wow! Did everybody see the posted scans of the Final Duel sets? (URL) cheap-o set for Stormtroopers is nice and everything, but *DROOL* did you see the *perfect* Wermacht or SS Officer in front of Luke? And I just ordered enough dark grey Rock (...)

Wow great job Bill! I love all of the hatches and the landing gear, The model as a whole is very realistic, great job! I love the way you did the ball turret up front and in the rear, very clever. Great job Bill! Look forward to more creations from (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Nice job. Very nice job. I spent a number of years working at a hobby/military history shop and love it when people produce models of lesser known hardware. I love the bomber's station especially. I was wondering, is there any access to it besides (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Very Impressive model. I love to see the models of the USAAF and USNAF. This gives me more incentive to find the time to finish my in-design B-24. Maybe I will since all of my black and red is in the hull of my sub right now. I might look into it, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.military)
