(...) Thanks. (...) You've got a keen eye. Yes, they rotate through a full 180 degrees. It's not quite the way it works on the real aircraft, but indeed there simply wasn't any room otherwise. (...) Thanks. For some odd reason it doesn't always turn (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Marc, (...) :) Thanks! (...) It's held in by a half pin, which means that it stays on well enough unless someone knocks against the tail. (...) It would be cool to build something like that, it would allow me to build an armored vehicle a littl (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Ralph, (...) Thanks for your kind words! You do camo very nicely. I think the problem with this chopper is that there are too many colors being used and there isn't as much space to spread them out over, as there is on say the top of a fighter (...)

Ralph, Wow, love 'em both!:) (...) Very nice, your bomb bay and landing gear all look so neat! Do the rear whels rotate as they go in (otherwise how do they fit?) Great use of a variety of slopes and snot to get that unique look just right! (...) (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) These are both fantastic models! I especially like the Stealth - I remember modeling those with the old Testor's model as a teen years ago. Your Lego version is beautiful - when the BrickShelf folder came up I had a hard time figuring out from (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Hi Jack, thanks. I'm glad you like them. Since your from St. Louis, I can imagine you liking my Hornet and Eagle as well. (URL) Anyway, the windows on both (actually the canopies on all of my aircraft) are made with transparent plastic, cut to (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Ralph, Very nice, both of them. I was big into military aircraft in high school (so many years ago) and these brought back some good memories. One of these days, I'll get around to building some modern war-birds. What did you use for the glass (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Hi Magnus. Indeed, It does look like a cross between a Comanche and a Cobra. The retractable landing skids are a nifty touch. I doubt that's ever been done on a real helicopter, but it looks good. The overall model is nicely proportioned and I (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Plus, it just looks cool! Nice work, Magnus. The landing gear is quite clever; just looking at the first couple pics, it doesn't even seem like it's there. How is the tail rotor held on? Is there a half-pin in the arch, or is it just jammed in (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Robert, The US seems to have moved away from having lighter undersides on both planes and choppers (perhaps because so many missions are at night) but I've seen a number of Russian helicopters with lighter undersides. I'd guess that it has less to (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)
