You beat me to it! ;-) Looks great Bryce! The JSF cockpit piece is perfectly suited to the Hind IMHO, I really like the front half of the model, although the tail seems too chunky to me, I like the missile tubes under the wings, very clever idea (...)

(...) This is one of the biggest hurdles that I will run into if I ever try to convert my MLCAD designs. The beauty of using MLCAD is that any number of parts are available to me in any number of colors, while in real life, some parts just don't (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Bryce for your kind words and of course for the dat-file of the A-4. Making a ABS version the three-colour IAF variant is not as easy as I first thought. For the moment there are no triangular plates of any kind available in tan, and no (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Thanks for the comments Mark. Its always gratifying to hear from someone, especially another LEGO aircraft builder. It is a long term goal of mine to build all of my designs out of actual bricks but until I some variables fall into place (money, (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

Mattias did have to do some structural reinforcement of my designs and the ejection seat design that you enjoyed is purely his design - I use a similar but standardized seat for all my (...)

I've been enjoying your work for some time now, espcially as I'm also a Lego aviation enthusiast. I think it's great how virtually every plane remaining plane I can think of that I'd like to see minifig scale 'brickified' you've already done! F-15 (...)
