So what's left, the Me-262, Ju-88, some Heinkel and Dornier bombers? The

Another plane I'd like to see:  The Ba349 Natter.  The FW189 is
another one I like--asymmetry!

I would definitely love to see an Me-262 ... I'm glad to hear that there are
some of these in the works!

Another one I'd *love* to behold would be a true minifig-scale B-17 (1 stud~1
ft ... I know it's not German, but what a craft!)  Bill's Privateer
went a long way towards fulfilling my desire for a B-24 (though we need a nice
aluminum colored version as well ;).

By the way, I really like the rocket plane!  I'll be heading right to my
reference shelf when I get home this evening to look it up and read a bit about
it.  You did a superb job matching all of the angles and slopes in an extremely
compact package - well done!
