- Don't need horns. Does need Sair colors, and overall look.
- The external tubing looks more Gallic/Hessian then Sair.
- The nose section doesn't carry the distinct tall pointed look that many Sair capital ships have.
- The two wings look out of place on the transport - unless you intended for those to be gun mounts.
- The extra "armor" (not sure how else to call it) directly above the wings looks out of place, and could stand to be simply deleted in favor of some decals on what I assume is the main cargo area.
- The section between the "cargo" area and the nose is rather detailed from the top, but that "X" looks out of place.
- I'm not seeing any gun mount positions, at least not obvious ones. The craft is intended as an 8 to 9 gun, forward firing accented transport, IE a Sair Ptrans. I'm not sure where the forward weapons could be fitted.
- The "winglets" on the engine section look a bit odd. Spacecraft that don't do planetary landings don't need fins for atmospheric flight stability. Their locations are ideal for a weapon mount however.

I like it except it being too long. Also armor platings can be removed or replaced with less "curvy" once to look more agressive and strong. It's a nice model, wanna see it textured and also ... well, we don't have anything else to compare it with. If to compare it to LR Ptrance\Ptrain then the model is very good for sairs
Well I like the model, don't get me wrong, but to me at least it's not so Corsair-like (and I agree Corsairs don't need horns necessarily). It looks very high-tech and not like something out of Dungeons & Dragons like the other Corsair stuff. I'd love it as a new Gallic Assault Transport or something like that. In my opinion Madvillain's model has been the best candidate so far.
