Excellent suggestion, Paul. Thank you. I'll have to see what light grey
detailing I can work into it.
As far as making it a smaller fighter, I agree it would look like a real
stuntster, Gil.
I guess this is as best time as any to talk about my "scale." Not that I
measure in studs, but I've noticed what I consider to be a small-to-mid
sized fighter most call "heavy" (ex. Grey Goose). The Killer Whale is
actually on the edge of medium and heavy. So the Buzzard seems pretty small
for an artillery buster. It's a bit larger and chunkier than a WWII plane,
but to me it still looks pretty small. And given its function, most of that
extra beef would be armor.
For instance, look at the size of the little man in the cockpit of an F-22,
a relatively small fighter:

Obviously minifig is a difficult scale to work with. And with space travel
commonplace, miniturization should be advanced. But for my "Universe," which
by all means isn't well-established, the scale may be a bit larger than what
I've seen others do.
Anyhow, before I get to rambling too much, thanks for the comments and
suggestions everyone. I appreciate it.

| Absolutely...point well taken. Paul Hartzog has brought this up before concerning engine/frame to pilot size ratio, noting that modern convential craft are very much oversized when compared some of the fighters of sci-fi. I think the other thing (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| Yeehaw! That thar's a real barn-burner! Here's a real departure for me. I figured I'd stretch myself. I'm usually a real plate-monger, and this model is almost entirely bricks. I had sketched The Buzzard weeks ago, and failed to build it some three (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc)
