However, I also incoporated some elements from the concept painting of the DeSanto version. For some reason, the Sexton Designs site just irks me. I know he has a disclaimer on one page that says he takes no credit for the renders, and just pastes them together, but how many people are actually going to read that? Those pics would get pulled real quick on this board without any credits. |

Downloads: 2 Uploads: 0 | I've got the beginnings of one of my own for once! (I'm using imageshack for the WIP pictures - not going to waste precious SFM space on an unfinished work!)  It's similar to the MkII (Mk III or IV?), but the wing and upper fuselage are one smooth surface, and the two lower engine intakes are completely below the wing. A lot of this will become more apparent as I add more detail. |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0  | Neat! The only thing I can say is that the fuselage might be a little too deep under the wings, perhaps a mid-wing installation? Also, to me, it seems to have too much anhedral. Other than that, it looks great, I look forward to seeing it completed. |

Downloads: 2 Uploads: 0 | The fuselage is sized to a 95 percentile human, and the wings are mounted higher than usual. They're above the two lower engines as opposed to attaching them to the engines themselves, which partly results in one smooth upper wing/upper fuselage surface. And yes, there's a large anhedral angle, but it's not a problem. You'll see better once I get more views up, especially the aft view. |
