Hey Dan, great fighter as always. What amazes me about your style is that it
always looks so clean. There is something about your work that is
‘essential’ (meaning, of the essence) - it reminds me of 1950’s style space
fighters. Very good stuff.

Thanks!

I gotta step outta line and say I don’t like the wing-tip landing gear.
You’ve used it a few times - and ive never really accepted it as making
sense. Those wing pieces are the thinnest part of the MOC, and they hold the
weight of everything else? I’d rather see more typical landing gear, as it
seems to make more sense. I’m also interested in how you would incorporate
the gear and still keep the clean look.

That’s the problem-- I’d have to sacrifice the clean look for more realistic
landing gear. I tried a few different landing gear configurations on the
underside of each fuselage but it lost the smoothness. So I’d rather stick with
these. Maybe I could brick up the wings with 1 x 2 slopes and some simple
greebles to make it look more sturdy and realistic than the current style.
