Not yet, sorry. I'll try to render some more views as soon as I have
time.

Actually, I didn't use that piece in the model that I built IRL (which is
slightly different in other ways as well.) It was just an idea that came
up while I was LDrawing the model--I thought it would look better than
two 33 slope bricks next to each other.

What about your Apache and your Star Wars models?

I know. Those engines are another thing I added only while LDrawing. I
built a couple proof-of-concepts IRL, but couldn't figure out a way to
meld them into the rear wing while retaining the spring nearby that keeps
the large ducts from
changing position.
Thanks for the comments!
