481???? http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=481
(You meant 487, right?) http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=487

Yeah, the 487 is a great model, isn't it!

From the looks of your picture, your model is a bit smaller than the 487. The
487 is 30 studs long by 18 wide (I just reassembled mine a while back -- my
four year-old was rummaging through my old instruction sheets and said, "Let's
build this." That's my boy!).

Agreed -- both the black one and the white one look very cool.

I have a few of those canopies, but none of the extensions. I could use some.
In what sets can they be found?

Thanks for posting -- I like your model and I missed your taglines!
