By the way, that reminds me... clearly, the interceptors take off
semi-vertically, but now that I think about it, I don't remember
seeing a nozzle somewhere on the "belly" of the interceptors
(required for a vertical take off). Am I correct? Was that an
oversight by the model builders? Or is there perhaps a mechanism
like in the Harrier aircraft to redirect the propulsion flow
downwards??
