I'm a big fan of the series, and I know that the "HAMMERHEAD" configuration is a trademark of Jim Millett who is the orginal designer. Area 51 Production Team created all of the visual effects for the TV series Space: Above and Beyond. It's the same case if someone made a 3D model of "Star Wars." It should be considered as a fan work and iw43d should share with us for free not charge $28. According to you, the models of X-Wing or Tie Fighter are able to put up for sale other by than the original creators/designers and the ceators/designer should not hold trademark by Lucas Art. I find it to be offensive that the designs which came out of TV were not mentioned. The model is not changed enough to claim it to be an orginal design. Everyone who is familar with "Hammerhead" design from the series would agree with me.
