This could also be LEGO's way to slyly "ease" into a military theme. I wouldn't be surprized if they avoid using swastikas and the like, which is just as well perhaps. But I could see this generating all kinds of interestng minifigs and maybe also (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Unless you're building in a very large scale, LEGO can only approximate real life. Don't worry about it; the aircraft looks good. The wings interest me. Why are they studs down on the ends? (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military)
