Well, at 50% in LDLite they sure _look_ gray (simply b/c only edgelines are
showing :-)

But I think BF's jetpack sticks out further on the side than standard
airtanks, so width of 3 studs is probably needed behind his back at the hip
level.

D'oh! Forget it. At first I stuck the straight connectors (#2 I think) as I
was building, but really the #1s are used. Darn! I need those #2s.

Are you referring to the picture that's a combo of the skiff, awing, slave1,
and bwing? That you could make out any information from such a bad picture is
incredible--but I think you're right about the gray behind the green 1x2
slope.
Ok, I've been staring at that picture a while now. The brown tiles on the
trailing edge of the wing: does it look to you like there's brown between the
two 1x2 bricks w/ pins? I wonder if that isn't two 1x2 grille tiles and a 1x2
tile in between.
> Also, your 6x6 quarter octagon plates should be black, not brown. :)
Agreed.
I think I see a couple gray 1x2 grille tiles under the pilots legs. How you
you think he's secured in there?
