		Re: MXL Advanced Fighter
(...) Whaddya know, you CAN make a great thing better! I like the 3 sided engines! I guess from a font POV, the original M-wing would be 'condensed' OR the new one would be 'extended', hmm...eXtended--is that where you got m'X'l from? Cool (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)
