To be honest, my last post looks totally lame compared to this one, so please take a second look. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8300 I ended up using B-Wing bubble canopies instead A-Wing ones, since the grey transparent looked much better than white transparent.

Now if you really want a challenge, make the landing gear (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Normally, I'd just sit back and silently admire someone's efforts, but as model aircraft are a long-time obsession of mine (35+ years) I have to say: I am in awe. Given the inherent limitations imposed by the medium, this is amazing. (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
