Nice shape. Looking forward to seeing it painted to tie it all together

Has a sense of a Chigg craft from Space Above and Beyond

that is very cool! I love the work you've done on the underside of it - it looks perfect.
So, is it a drone or a piloted fighter? I ask because I'm not sure how the pilot would see anything without a cockpit window. Or is it a virtual cockpit inside with him surrounded by screens?

So cool! So much detail I thought it was much bigger until I saw the comparison to the quarter.  Superbly executed!

ya its a blind cockpit , screens inside provide a 360 view of space around the craft

I would've expected helmet-mounted displays for a virtual 360-degree view in all directions.  Of course, the ultimate development would be a direct interface between the pilot's brain and the fighter.

BTW, lest I forget, that's a beautiful piece of work.

Great design and painting!

It surely deserves a suitable stand, and then some photo shots from more dynamic and "dramatic" angles.
