I like the Int'l Transport bldg - blue & white with rounded corners. I wonder how they got the (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hello Holger, (...) Yes, I knew of your fantastic model, and used it for some of my inspiration. It was also great to get some idea of scale, checking length vs. wingspan vs. wing height, etc. I did not copy any details from your model, but the tail (...)
