(...) Yup, I am sure it is, but then again so was the original GeeBee racer. Maybe in the future you wont have to worry about good visibility -- at least that is what I keep telling myself. (...) Well, that is not entirely true. The X-1, the first (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.space)

(...) I agree the engines are for sure the week point. I made them removable so if I ever get a clue as to how make better looking ones I can easily yank the old one off and snap new pretty ones on. (...) Thank you! Brent (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks for thinking it is cleaver, but really it is just simple geometry. When I get an idea for a model I always work it out on paper first. In this case I knew the general proportions (length vs. width) of the wing and using plate thickness (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Brent I have a problem with your ships: I want to build all of them in minifig scale... and this one is no exception! I love the overall structural simplicity of this ship: one wing, two engines, and one cockpit / canopy. Beautiful. And yet you (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) So slick, so tasty... I love it. And I'm always impressed by wheeled gear that folds completely inside. The transition between the main part of the engines and the exhaust portion seems a bit clunky, but only because the rest is sooo smooth. (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I would say you achieved that in a superb way. At least the retro thing is the first thought I when I looked at it. I like the fact that it looks tough.
