Congratulations, Doug - this is an amazing MOC! The photos, before you click on
the thumbnails, look so dead-on that I imagined it would *have* to be oversized.
Yet when I clicked on them, I saw how perfectly sized and detailed it was! What
a fantastic job.
Some of the features I like the best are the retractable landing gear, and the
clever canopy design. Both of these are elements I've been wrestling with
on-and-off for over a year on a BF-109 project - I hope you don't mind if I
abscond with some of your ideas! It's just gorgeous ... and it looks very
sturdy too. I imagine it is the pinnacle of "swooshability".
Hmmm, I just noticed, though - no rear landing wheel? And do the main landing
gear wheels turn freely, or are they held rigidly? What wheel hub is being used
there?
I really can't say enough! Any chance you could post an LDRAW file of the
design? I'd love to put one together ... in fact, using some of your techniques
as a springboard, I can imagine a whole fleet of WWII Warbirds popping up.
Great job, and thanks for the post. 10 minutes later, and I'm still drooling
...

| (...) snip Thank you for the complements. I have to admit that I drooled (as a lurker) quite a bit over your military MOCs over the last few years. Especially your p-38 and stuka. (...) I would not be offended in anyway if my ideas are "borrowed". (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
