Nice model- very consistent with period designs. I'd say it gets bonus
points for being an alternate of two existing sets, though the wing shape is
much more like space sets from a few years later.

I consider the wing shape to be the next step in the progression from the
Cruiser to the Explorer. The Cruiser's leading edge is 30deg, the
Explorer starts at 30deg and goes to 45deg, while my Expedition moves from
30deg to 45deg to 60deg.
I did break from convention to angle part of the trailing edge of the
wing, though. Maybe I'll see what a non-alternate version would look like
with straight trailing edges.
