Thanks G. I actually hadn’t noticed how the fins and the front intakes were so similar, but now I see it. I knew there was a reason the shape was pleasing to me. :-)

Like I told Lenny, Palmer’s K and T wings inspired that particular landing gear style (the front one). That’s probably what I spent the most time on with this one. The front one went in slick, but I couldn’t get a functional and good looking rear set for awhile. You need to swipe the design and really do it justice, man.
