Thought elongating the nose might actually make the overall model larger and easier to hit.
How about elongating the nose and shifting the entire nose backwards, removing the mid-section and connecting the nose directly to the circular core thingy where the large wings protrude?
Nice model. Well done.
Though.. There is two things i quite dislike in this model.
I know i'm an annoying little sod and all, but i think some improvments could be done :
- The nose does indeed look weird. Raising it a tad wouldn't hurt, me thinks. If the issue is the ship's front profile, perhaps solar panels could be added on the bottom of dat nose, facing the two engines?
The main problem i see here is the orientation of the cockpit. It looks like a cradle to me, and kinda ruins the agressive profile of the entire ship.
- The ship back's height, making it look like a crookbacked geisha.
Overall, the ship looks stocky; A break with the previous Kusari VHF design.
If it was up to me, I would just reduce Dragon's (both KNF's and BD's) turning speed in vertical and horizontal planes to 1.12-1.15 rad/s (that's somewhere between Titan and Lynx) without touching it's other stats and see what happens.
