Kinda like the Stuka, eh?

Thanks Geordan. That four-barrelled rotary machine gun design is one of my
favourite weapons that I have built.

Neither did I; I saw it on Discovery Wings channel a couple of months ago. I
never really paid much attention to the tail part of helicopters, so this was
kinda cool to find out.

Thanks again. I just fooled around with a bunch of parts.

I bought eight 7106 Droid Escape sets (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7106).

Oh, I definitely agree. I sort of rushed that part. I wanted this to be a
two-seater, but in the end opted for a smaller design. I really wish LEGO would
make long, slender canopies with rounded front parts... Then I could make all
sorts of cool stuff.
Tell you what, once I finish the all the .DAT files, I'll send 'em to you and
you can modify it, however you like! Just an offer...
