Aftermath of the first Aardvark beta build

Remember I said that there was an issue with the swing wing mechanism when I first started the beta build. After many trials and errors, I came up with a wing swing-in suggestion that was not accepted as Murph said it never existed. Finally the matter was resolved and the beta build finished and the final product released.

I was thinking of trashing the first beta prototype where the exhaust pipes were still white and tail fin and wings were not actually assembled. I hate to see it goes like that and so did some salvage to keep the Aardvark in flight mode. The wings can swing though, the left wing is loose and can be pulled out. Anyway, no matter from which angle you look at the Aardvark, it's a beauty. So, I'll be keeping her with the landed version until space runs out and the trash can within sight!
