Great color scheme. You’ve balanced out the base and highlight colors nicely.
I was surprised at the scale- until I counted the studs, I didn’t realize quite
how large it was. And the interior looks pretty roomy. Nice!
As others have pointed out, the use of Exploriens wing/cockpit slope things is
excellent. I have seen few even decent uses of these parts and this is the best
I can recall. The wings do seem a bit on the long side, and awfully straight.
Your use of SNOT construction is subtle and well integrated.
The nose gun is pretty cool, and I love the mouth-shaped opening. With some
eyes added to the slopes on the sides of the very front and you’d have a
wonderful shark face!
The low-studlessness works really well too. You tiled over the studs a lot, but
didn’t go overboard on trying to cover them all. Bravo!
I saw your comment on landing gear (either here or on Classic-Space) and yes-
that would add some cool functionality. I don’t think you’d have to rework too
much, though. Unless there’s something really complicated going on inside the
nose, there should be plenty of room there for nose gear. And the inverse
slopes inside the Exploriens wings on the bottom could probably be replaced by
some decent gear.
Overall a very nice ship (with or without gear). Keep it up!
