Thanks to all for the encouraging words and suggestions on the nose cone area. That area is sill under evaluation so just pottering along making the main wing and blending the nose cone area into the main fuselage.
Just to clear up some confusion with the 1930's era movie rocketships:
Dr Zarkov's/Flash Gordon ship is identifiable by the ring of tubes around the nose cone + the landing wheels as per:
Ming the Merciless's bomber, identifiable by its somewhat phallic shape + the V6 exhaust manifold and long exhaust tubes as per:
Captain Proton was a slightly later serial than the original Flash Gordon serial and obviously took their cues on rocketship design from Dr Zarkov
.
Depending on how this little one turns out (103mm overall length) I might do the Flash Gordon and Ming's bomber in the same style & size
.
Antonio Sobral :Yep, nose cone and main body are vac-formed.
Cheers to all for looking in, best I get back to the hack'n'slash
