Athos Posted October 15, 2007 Since the original island hopper crashed in Johnny Thunder and the Poachers of Prehistory, I thought the Adventurers could use a new plane, so I built, the Island Hopper Mk.

The engines for example are slightly modded. They only have one of these, rather than two, because I only had enough for one on each side. Also there are no windows on the sides, but I plan to fix that with a bricklink order or two... There are a few other mods too, but nothing major. A very nice and classic plane indeed, although I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy_0306uk Posted October 18, 2007 I think the blue suits the plane better than the red. Good job in the recolouring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted October 18, 2007 Looks cool! *sweet* Soon? *sweet* I'm working on the rest of the set pieces now. I've got at least one more minor one to do. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
