Ryan,
Wow, you nailed it, and it sure is a difficult plane to model. I like the
way you handled the radial engines, I've been trying to do that for a while,
and have never been totally satisfied. Yours look great.
You did great on the back nacelles, too, I may need to get some sets with
those new canopies. I could never have imagined a way to gracefully handle
them in Lego.
Nice setting too, with the downed flyers in water.
Thanks,
George
