Agreed. I could not work it to be more tapered so I went with what I had.
I also had to compromise with the "landing wings" and the cockpit.
I can make them look very close to the real one but I would have to make the
whole MOC so much bigger. I might actually do a collectors series version.
But only if I figure out a way to do the cones better.
