I still think that the mosquito nose could have been done using conventional cones instead of petals. The designers are just used to petals, so they continue with it.
Have you seen the nose of the Fly model Suchoi Su-24 nose? It's a horror show of a design. Petals all over. Even though the builder did a superb job on the model, it is still wrong.
