I was chatting with Mladen one day about the difficulty of creating tapered
windshields at small scales, and he suggested using flex tubes in this manner.

tube really helps.

Please rate the model and LMKWYT! Comments, suggestions, flames appreciated.

| Bram, Well of course I like this one too! Glad Mladen suggested using tubes for the windshield frame; I agree with the tail lights comment, and I especially like the tapered front via the use of 2x1 wall panels. (I may have to borrow that idea (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)
