Yeah they did reshoot the dashboard inserts later but they built the nose gun, and other elements onto the salvaged cockpits
The Rapiers were English Electric Lightnings
The Broadsword was an English Electric Canberra

I love learning things more more than 25+ years later 😁

Was that built at Pinewood?
I was watching the special features on Alien, and the reason that looks so realistic is the interior of the Nostromo is built out of decommissioned Vulcan bomber parts; with Shepperton Studios (Starwars stormtrooper etc.) building and finishing some of the sets .

Long Live the Confederation!
They were built on set in Luxembourg although I believe two of them were later moved to Pinewood for second unit filming!

Is there a behind the scenes video for the movie like there is one for WC3? It would be fun to have a screening

There's a featurette that only appeared on some of the European DVDs IIRC, though I think it's also available on the EPK (electronic press kit) that I think is available somewhere on the CIC. I also have it on my youtube channel but I swapped out the background music with game music, and switched up the title cards:
The EPK tape also has a section of unedited B-roll and you can download it here. I need to rebuild that page since flash media is now defunct so that you can just play the individual segments.
I believe I have at least a couple other tapes with some other B-roll in various states of quality that we might be able to share at some point too

Covert Action (1990) was an interesting game as it the player could take the role of a female agent and it was the inspiration for the Covert Action rule which was applied to Civilization I (1991).

Speaking of tanks, the first M1 tank platoon was a great simulator which could be player either at vehicle level or at the tactical map layer.

Team Yankee is similar in nature to M1 tank platoon and it was inspired by a novel which also inspired a board game.

Remember this gem on the Amiga. Now that I think about it. My Amiga500 introduced me to Wing Commander 1 back in the day

I first played Team Yankee on a friend's slow 286 with black and white screen and it was an amazing experience!

Great cover 🔥🔥

What always impressed me in Saboteur II is that the player character not only is a woman, but also a ninja 🔥🔥
(Not so) fun fact: The game had a copy protection mechanism. In case it detected an illegal copy of game, then the hard drive was formatted. Really different times!
