There should then be two letters after the set number, or a letter and a number (ie. SXXXXa1 or MXXXXa1) where a would be the model and 1 would be the submodel. If it is the whole model the 1 would be omitted. What do you think of this? Leaving it open like you did could cause some confusion.. -Tim Courtney ldraw.org Project Coordinator http://www.ldraw.org http://www.zacktron.com AIM: timcourtne ICQ: 23951114

(...) Ryan and I had decided on M####-, where #### stood for the set number and stood for the last two digits of the year it was released (i.e. M7140-99 for the X-Wing). The date would be replaced by a letter to denote that it is a submodel. (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
