what's with the little "pencil lines" on the front ends of the nacelles
[/b]
The "pencil lines" are actually a spinning internal structure which is usually called "fan blades".
However unlike on the MR prototype the fan blades should not meet in the middle... (for this reason we think the "blades" might be lines drawn on a clear inner dome)...

Right, I understand what the nacelle tip is supposed to look like, just that those lines look like they are on the outside of the domes.
And, as you say, they are connected.
After hearing about the casting and laser engraving process for the windows, I would expect that this, too, is an artifact that will look different when it is in actual production.
By the way, nice frame grabs.
This looks like it's going to be a very sweet display.
Anyone have more info on release date or price? (Maybe it was posted already and I just missed it - if so, my apologies.)
