| | | | | (...) For us impatient ones: (URL) Sweet, I love the retro-styling. It's what I've always imagined Eastern Block to be like. The fins are neat, and I like the way the cockpit opens. Watch out Fazoom! ~Kevin Blocksidge (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The snotted on canopy matches up surprisingly well with the natural slope of the other windshield and those castle wall pieces go a long way with retro-fying the fins. A nice simple looking, but (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I can see like 50,000 of these swarming around, and getting blown up by, some giant PCS warship :) As someone else mentioned, I really dig the retro-rocket styling, and the curvature and shape of the tail fins is great!
