Personally I like it the way it is (colors are a bit funky to me but I can • fix

For reference, go watch the opening sequence of "Octopussy." That li'l plane

their "Silver Bullet"?) Now, _that's_ a Spy Runner.

I admit that would have been a much cooler Spy Runner for sure.  As it is
though I like the idea of having a Spy Runner that looks like a stock twin
prop-plane.  Though I doubt TLC would use it as such, it would have more
"story" uses, at least to me.  Most mini-figs are too stupid to notice jets on
the wings, yeah that's it. ;-)

Maybe I'll build one when I get home, just for my own edification.
