This time, a Gundamesque conversion. Once again, this was started ages ago, and finally started advancing. The inspiration comes from a transport aircraft from the second Gundam series, Zeta Gundam (1985-86) the Garuda class.
https://www.mahq.net/sudori/Mine comes in a bit smaller, for reasons I'll detail below. The progress to date:

The interior will be open at both ends, so I did a bit of detailing there, and painting will be done before sealing it up.

Wings in place. Originally, I was going to put the rudders on short booms off the wings, but decided later to extend the fuselage.
pictures of the aspect shortly.
I had started on landing gear, but a stumble on the way to primering snapped off one of the gear assemblies, sending it flying...somewhere,
and I wasn't really confident that it would balance on just the fuselage wheels anyway. The current plan is to build up some 'hover sponsons',
akin to those found on an earlier Gundam transport, the Medea.
https://www.mahq.net/medea/Prier has been applied, and I should be able to wrap this over this weekend or next.
