I really like the grey slopage behind the cockpit! It really makes the canopy
look smooth.

Not too excited about the wing shape, though

The SS-A Paladin is a great ship. I agree that the cockpit design is really
outstanding. I also really like the exploded views you provided showing how all
that SNOT came together. You make it look really easy. I also like the missle
racks on the underside of the wing.
I also agree about the wing shape. They seem a little too bulky (area-wise)
when compared to the sleekness of the rest of the ship. If they were either
swept back at a sharper anle or they were narrower (shorter chord) then the
entire ship might look better proportioned??
Anyways, just my opinions.. Overall, it does really look good.

Thanks for the comments and criticisms, Paul and Doug.
The wing shape is probably something I could work on—out of all the shapes I
tried I like it the best, but I confess I’m not completely satisfied with it
either. I didn’t want it to be a mere reiteration of the previous Paladin, and
used the F-22 Raptor as a more immediate influence to the design than the
Crusher Joe/Macross ships.
It’s true too, that plates allow for a lot more angles than bricks. Maybe I
shouldn’t sacrifice angles for no studs next time.
Anyhow, I’m glad you guys liked it. And thanks for the comments.
