Just watched the vid, good stuff Sparky.
Please don't get riled-up on me here, but I'd just like to bring up a few observations...
At the end the video shows a nice top view photo of an original Minado. I understand that you're not doing an exact replica here, but the original Minado appears to have a much, much thinner rearward fuse than what you're doing. (Maybe it's just not coming through yet in the videos on yours?) The originals rear fuselage also appears to have somewhat elliptical formers with rounded fuse sides and the "turtledeck" shape comes to quite a ridge along the top. These details are some of the classic features of some of that eras designs. In a sense, it kind of what makes them what they are. No offense, but with your building talents, if this is a "tribute" model I can't help but wonder why this isn't being more closely duplicated?
