Hi Jamie I think your planes are fantastic!

Very cool to see you around .space again, Jamie! These Crimson Skies mocs are pure fun.

Cool designs! The modifications to the old models are a nice touch, and the new ones are well done--even if one is a "homage". I especially like the design of the gyrocopter, if only because it's a few steps away from being steampunk. ...hmm...seems (...) (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
