I've redesigned my Superhornet MOC somewhat...

After looking at some photos of the Superhornet, I decided that the LEX's on
my MOC were too thin and not the correct shape.  I've posted some pictures
of the new design here:

...and a new render here:

Additionally, I've angled the underwing stores pylons on the Superhornet
outward by 5 degrees.  This is accurate as the pylons on real F/A-18E/F/G's
had to be modified to ensure clean seperation of weapons from the pylons.

On other fronts, I've recently completed a MOC of the Chengdu J-10, the
newest Chinese multirole fighter, but I'm not quite pleased with how it came
out.  A teaser can be seen here:

There's something about the canopy design that doesn't quite capture the
"hunchback-ness" of the J-10.  I had a similar problem with the Su-27 series
but this is more apparent in the much smaller chinese jet.
