   An incredible MOC, an incredible backstory.  I like them both!
   A handful of questions:

   -How did you get the fifth blade on the rotor?
   -Is that a customized tile on the front of the rocket pod?

    faces very well, but I didn't see any of those there--and
    they add a lot of Soviet-esque character, IMHO.  :)
