Thanks Bryce More pictures are coming up during the weekend. I simply had to modify the engine nozzles since I don't have the parts you used. The parts I used are from the 7191 UCS X-Wing. There is a dark lightsabre inside to keep it together (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build.military)

I really like the pics that you posted Mattias. That color scheme looks so much better in real life than it does in MLCAD or renders. I also love the alterations/improvements that you've done - the engine nozzles fit perfectly and I love how you (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi Bryce, You probably get asked this all the time. I would love to try building one of your models, like the F-18G or the F-15E. I read on this thread that you gave the .dat for your F16 to Mattias Martensson (lucky dog) , so I was wondering what I (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build.military)
