Very nice, this set is now very close to if not at the top of my list for favorite sets.

Would be really cool if it had capability for a propeller power function....

Looks great - does anyone know the price for Canada? As I know the buggers it's probably $119 or $129 (even though the US $ is lower than the CDN $).

Very nice engine cowl and markings. I would have preferred a more realistic wooden propellor ( which could be more useful later on for other Steampunk design builds). A lego friction/spring motor might power the prop but the PF battery power packs and motors are too large to fit into the fuselage. Lego's Power Function needs a a more compact 9VDC (alkline or Li-ion) battery pack and micro motor for smaller models like this.
Yeah a Snoopy or Woodstock lego mini fig would make this model a hot seller...

$129.99 is most likely. I'm glad I'm traveling to the States twice this summer.
