While we're suggesting improvements, you should change all your cockpit canopies to the one in the Nantex when it comes out:

To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how to pull this off myself, but I really thought that the 3x12 wings would be ideal. I remained in this state until I came across spacie's entry in the FBTB HybridFighter contest:

This was exactly what I was talking about. The use of the wing plates provides that sharp look that is characteristic of the Delta-7 and Delta-7B.

Now, I am aware that this method is not directly applicable to your models because there exists a difference in size. I would** simply move the entire plated structure just forward of the bubble canopy (this would also leave room for the astromech as well as allow the canopy to sit flush).l

Yeah I remember your suggestion way back during the first version, I actually thought of using that approach, but I didn't like the possibility of studs sticking out on that part, that's why I still stuck with the inaccurate but smoother current set-up than doing this more accurate but less visually-appealing look (IMO). I appreciate the suggestion, but my preference for aesthetics over dimensional accuracy prevents me from doing this. That's why I'm still waiting for TLG to create a 3x16 wedge (left & right) pieces or a 3x12 wedge plates without studs.

Now this is something I could see using right away with my Delta 7-Bs, more accurately-shaped with no compromise in size, and it even has provision for the opening function of the cockpit piece.

Hello!

The revival of this exceptional thread gives me the chance to leave a comment which I seem to have missed until now.

Well, I like them all! It's especially the rear construction that makes them superior to the official set designs. The tail and the way it is smoothly embedded into the rear is much more accurate than for the official sets.

Cheers,
