I must admit, however, that the wings on the Enfield model are very clean, and seamless. And it looks like there's a retracting landing gear that actually supports the model. Mine works but collapses under the weight. Gee, maybe mine isn't so good. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Now that's disappointing. I just hate to see models created by using glue. I understand that they need to glue things to get them to stay together, but I object to the use of glue for making the model itself. :^( ~Mark (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
