The back piece of the chest is now done, only change is to link the two halves into one piece for ease of cutting to ensure an exact joint when putting them together. No change to the wings and part "T". For ease of reference I am using the names for parts contained in the present valkyrie downloads.

One big change is the in tail assembly, I have always found tha once the tail parts and part "U" Top and Bottom ar glued together you can notice the lumps on either side of the tail where the tabs glue under the part. To imilinate that and make the design easier I have joined part "U Top" straight onto the tail assembly and changed part "U Bottom" to accommodate the tabs without leaving the bumps giving a smooth surface to the tail. Even though it does not look pretty once glued it makes no difference to the model as the tabs are covered by the jet pack part "H".

I have also changed part "H" the jet pack to include a full bottom to make the pice more sturdy when gluing to the tail section as all four sides now hold the assembly together. I have noticed one change I need to make alredy and thats moving the tabs on the opposite sides onto the solid bottom part to make a smooth surface to join the H jet pack to the tail assembly which I will adjust to include in the final draft.
