<span style="font-style: italic" class="Apple-style-span">As is so often the case, this ship started with an engine, to which the cockpit area was added soon after. These then sat around for many months while wings of various shapes & sizes were tried and rejected. The inspiration to use 1980s train track came quite late, and from then on the model came together quite quickly. The construction is basically 'studs out', making heavy use of the launderette brick; by a happy coincidence this left enough space in the lower body that I was able to make the three-legged undercarriage fold neatly away inside the fuselage.</span>
