Boeing CST 100...
This might make an interesting subject. They only plan on making three for now.

Ton Noteboom came up with one when the design first came out. I'm wondering what changes have been made to the design since his model came out....

I can vouch for Ton's CST-1000. It went together pretty easily. If I can score some time with the plotter at work I plan to enlarge it to maybe 1:48.

Second on Ton's CST-100. I did a simple one in 1:96 for the Atlas V series - trying to figure out who I sent it to ...

I think I have one somewhere.
Scratch that, I actually do have one |

On a related note, I also did a simple model of Dragon v2 last week based on Yogi's Dragon. It's rather rough, though.

Those wings on the trunk of the re-designed Dragon always struck me as something out of Flash Gordon....

Yeah, same here. I love the new man-rated Dargon a lot. It looks it's tough enough to do the job. But the trunk... No. It's very odd and fifties-like. I could see those waffle shaped air brakes like the Soyuz has but this indeed looks more like some like out of some Flash Gordon style film without any real useful feature. I mean, they are not necessary for steering and up above they don't need the fins for steering either. So what is their function?

This may be a shot in the dark.But maybe they're used for some type of heat dissapation.

I had only recently learned this, but those waffle-shaped airbrakes on the Soyuz are not airbrakes at all. They are simply fins for steering/stabilization. If you look at the N-1 it also has them. The Soviet Union/Russia has been fond of them because of their aerodynamic properties in the trans-sonic and/or super-sonic ranges.
