Hey people,

My son recently got interested in some war-era comics (!) and wanted some
planes with which to dogfight. I complied with this:

http://www10.ewebcity.com/dadoandrabbit/lego/spitfire.htm

I know there are inaccuracies (the cockpit way too wide, the landing gear
just a last minute add-on, and it could probably lose 2 studs in length),
but it has good play value, and stands up to some abuse.

Anyway, disclaimers aside, please let me know what you think.

(...) However, I had some trouble with the site: I couldn't load that page in Netscape. It works fine in Internet Exploiter, but in Netscape there's a problem loading your stylesheet. Also, even in IE, I can't view the closeup images. --Bill. (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
