Interesting take on an old hat. The double delta design, single fin and thruster are definately all hallmarks of the venerable old girl. The updates are interesting...like the feathered exhaust and the panel hinge.

Although... :)

I almost feel this could be a little more updated. Perhaps with a couple SNOT applications (perhaps the engine housing even wings), some subtle greebs (even a communications array in the same spot as the original) and a little more detailing on the bottom. Perhaps a splash in the cockpit too.

I know the original was a sparse matter to start with, but through a use of colour and (then) new part usage, it became a classic. Thinking with a little more of a shove into the modern building arena, this could do the same.

Fun stuff!

Cheers, Gil
