Heh, very fitting name...
What I love the most about this model, is how smooth the SNOT assembly on thee
transition is from cockpit to main wings to engine. Oh, and the bottom is well
done too. You squeezed a *LOT* in there. Overall, it's a fine craft. I'd
personally love to make variants of it. :-D

Nice, you're getting "tech-y" (drool, black, guided micro-bombs).

Ah, that's what they do!

Well, despite your critiques, I like the VTOL system. You integrated it well
into the belly.
