Looks really good. The only thing I have noticed from the very beginning is that the vertical tails are too well... straight. If you look at it from head on it looks like the tails almost lean into each other when in fact they need to lean slightly out from one another. NOT nearly like the F-18, but just slightly away from each other. Anyone else notice?
The first thing I plan to do is pull those off and see just what I can do to glue them into a more realistic position. The way they have it on all the examples make it look a little strange.
Other than that, it looks really good and being such a minor and easy thing to fix I am still very excited to get a couple.

They are already aware of this apparently and are going to fix it before its final release. See link below for details....tko211 wrote:Looks really good.

It sure is a beauty!. It says the Glove Vanes work but they should be extended when the wings are all the way back for supersonic flight. From the pictures with the wings back I can't see any glove vanes extended, but it is kinda hard to tell from the pictures. Regardless, it's a small detail.

I'm sure we'll be able to tweak those attachment points to let them camber out a couple degrees - I've got my modeling files ready
