That's becoming your signature canope, Gil. ;) I really like those two
blue tiles, little things like that add so much. This one kind of makes me
think of a butterfly or a Roarschach test or something. The landing gear
freaks will be pleased, as well as the "I can't get that *#$%^ canope to fit
perfectly" freaks.
I'm glad you bent the rules. I was hoping someone would start stretching
the design of the P-38 beyond the familiar. Suggestions... I guess the
underside is the only thing I'd add to. Maybe a small rocket array under
the wings or some drop tanks, like the actual P38 had? I don't know what
use drop tanks would be to a space vessel, but whatever. It just seems too
clean down there. You studless people, I tell ya... Anyway, nice
creativity. You never cease to move in new directions.

| (...) It's both my love and my nemesis. (...) Hehe...I was just thinking of a missle rack under there this morning. Could be an interesting idea for a redux. Many thanks for the kudos and suggestions! Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.space)
