It looks MUCH better with a SNOT plate going along the front of the jagged
wings, but I didn't have enough brown to do it, and no other color looked
right. :-/

Thanks! Believe me, get the Sopwith. It has some great brown plates in it,
and lots of other interesting tidbits.

That was how the whole thing started. In fact, the immediate front was
intended to be the front of a space semi truck, I had this Jack Stone

The black was origanally gray, but I didn't have enough tiles to finish it.
The gray looks MUCH better.
