Mark, this is another fine MOC from you. I like the sleek shape, that is
augmented greatly by the use of those curved slopes. The engines look, IMO,
perfect for such a craft too. The colour scheme is also good.
However, I’m just a little surprised to see a future military (you do envision
this as a military craft, right?) still using manned surveillance aircraft!
What about the much more economical (in terms of fuel, and actual construction
material) and politically safe (U2 shot over Russia, remember that?) satellites
and unmanned, autonomous drones?
:-)
Still, a piloted Advanced Superfighter is way cooler than some lame drone, in
my book.
