Alright it’s not really space, but it is sci fi. It’s a personal aircar for
zipping around the skylanes of the cities of the future.
This sort of grew out from the arrangement ot the headlight pieces which I threw

finishing it off after that much to my wife’s chagrin :). The landing gear took
a bit of refinement, but it was worth the effort I think.

This is precisely the kind of well-polished model that I've been aiming for with my racers series, though I don't think I've hit (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
