Happy to be of service. This will be released eventually as part of my "Feel the Terror" pack.

It turns out it wasn't THAT hard. I thought there was a much smoother join between the wings and the hull. There isn't. So I extruded the base of the hull up at the angle I wanted for the shape of the wing, extruded that up for the wing itself, used a little sub-surf to smooth out the curves on the wings (sub-surf means never having to say you're co-planar), added the curves at the leading and trailing edges, and easy-peasy.

Looking at the model and McMaster's plans, it's a very "sculpted" ship.

Fin! And a gun! Now on to the windows (they all protrude a bit from the hull, so no texturing this time out) and then a fresh coat of paint. Surya is first for the paint shop, then this gal.
