Hello all,
A year a go I stopped building this model and went back to the drawing board for some re-design. Maine problems were
1. The two tail booms not perpendicular to each other
2. Cockpit needed to be inserted while assembling the fuselage
3. Didn't like all the nose bonding lines.

Now I am back with an improved model – cockpit and landing gear wells inserted in the fuselage assembly process, nose foldout parts changed, and tail booms bonding locations on the wings revised.









Compar nose shape and bonding lines.





Back at the modeling phase as before.

















Next is the cockpit and intakes.

From a VERY tough topic, comes a marvelous airframe. Looking very sharp, Sir.

Thanks Mike1158, really happy to know that you like the revised design.

Thanks Gary and rifleman for your interest and comments. Ejection seats are in work, and first fit check in the cockpit.

Starting to see the finish line,
