TY for the compliment, but I am not an expert or artistic master, can only comment on what looks good to me.

I have to say, I prefer the old one: I think with the up-turned canards at the front, there is no need for vertical rudders at the back.
I also prefer the "patch-work" cockpit transperancies on the old one, even though the new one is almost certainly more practical, the old multi-faceted one has a charm to it; like the clear panels and 'brow' windows in a C130 Hercules transport plane.

In the new one, are my eyes decieving me, is that three sets of wings? Not real clear on my monitor. Or is it just a 'notch' midway down the main wing?

Looking at the pilot seated in the new version, not too sure you have scale enough to fit a docking hatch, would you perhaps consider a seat that lowers through the floor like the one fitted to the EDIin the movie 'Stealth'?
