Looking good Mark! Ever since the M-tron 6923 Particle Ionizer, I've always
liked the concept of the futuristic helicopter...a design this seems to be
in that category.
The angles of the tail section break up the main beam of the ship nicely,
avoiding the 'flying stick' look.
One question...is the canopy hinged in any way? Those canopies are great
for shape, but I always have difficulty hinging them in a way that is not
obtrusive. It almost looks as if there might be a possibility of the whole
nose folding forward, raising the canopy at the same time.
Cheers,
-Gil

| Hi there, Gil! "Futuristic helicopters", or as I call them, "AtkCrafts", have always been some of my favorites. I based this model on my never-released Berinacie AtkCraft. Hahahahahahaha!! Flying stick! Very nice. Yep, it did that job quite nicely, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
