Very cool, though I admit I expected something bigger with a name like Albatross. The Puffin? The Sandpiper? The Gull?

Seriously, I’m impressed at how you made those window pieces fit into the cockpit at that angle, and love the industrial style highlights throughout. The cables and such to the vertical jets and yellow hash highlights are especially well placed.

Now you just need a whole series of vehicles for it to lift...

Kenn,

Thanks for your comments, I clearly should have consulted you on the name as you have just rattled off much better and relative ones. ;-) Originally I had the wings much larger, but found that snot style wings look plain silly. The stout look did the trick for me.

The tank was created first, and then the aircraft to match it. The front of the ship is on a 50-52% angle (in side profile I mean), which was a challenge to get the wings on their own angle and the back/top of the aircraft on it’s own angle.

Glad you enjoyed the greebles throughout, was an exercise in making it look very industrial.

Cheers!

Paul.
