I have just finished making it. It is stunning. It dwarfs last year's super car, at nearly 70cm long. It is also more challenging to make -- the pieces are all 'jumbled-up' like the old days, not all pre-sorted for each sub-assembly like 8448 :-) I (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
