(...) I've been trying to find a diagram of the old rotary engine, but searches always bring up the Wankel engine, which isn't nearly the same thing. I'm trying to get a sense for how much of the engine rotated, and how fuel delivery was done if the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.build.military)

That is amazing! Great job! I love it! It is so life like, so smooth, I love the cannons, the wings are perfect, this is sweet, I can just hear the sound of the engine in my ear, ;-) Great work! can't wait to see more! -Geordan- (...) (23 years ago, 17-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Good point; I think I could do this with the current structure by adding 45 slopes to the top of the wing, and shifting everything up by one brick. I could also lengthen them in the same way. I'll try it out. (...) You're right, the silhouette (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thank you for your compliments and your feedback. I can certainly fix that easily enough. That is a very good idea (thank you!) and I'll start doing it with future war models.

(...) Drew, Very nice, the landing gear is an inspired design. One quibble that I'm guilty of two is not including a few pics or links of the real thing, for comparison. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Gary, I must say, i like this new incarnation better than the last one. The previous canopy just didn't work for me. If i may offer a few suggestions though, i would say the only areas that need a bit of work are the engines and wingtips. - i think (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Thanks to some new parts off BrickBay and a little creative part-shuffling, I've redone my Heinkel He-219, complete with bubble canopy, tricycle landing-gear, and enough dark-grey plates to finally cover the wings. To be honest, my last post looks (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
