That is amazing!
The engines are wonderfully massive, and the landing gear is great...
the reveresd canopy is pretty snifty too.
Working the “38” in is really amazing, but I’d like to see one of the intakes in all red for comparison.
Definitely going to spend some time studying this one in greater detail... “built in 5 different directions” gotta figure that out :)

I’ve used the reversed canopy before, about 8 years ago, in this MOC. I originally got the idea from Karim Nassar, but I can’t find his design.

I do recall seeing it before, but nopt terribly often. I think you definitely made good use of it here.

   I think the engine intakes might be kinda plain in all red. My other idea was to put some vents or greeblies where the numbers are. If you want, I can take some pics showing how the intakes are assembled.

Yeah, all red probably would be dull, I’d say “Racing Stripes” but you already have something similar on the tail. The 38 was probably the best way to go.

I’d really dig seeing how the intakes are assembled! My SNOT knowledge needs a serious jumpstart:)
