WOW!!!! This is going to be AMAZING Brad!! So cool to see a replica of this one being built!! She is such a beautiful design, but the hand craftsmanship needed to build it I believe is why few have tackled it. Congrats on going after it and keep the updates coming!! I'm sure it'll be EPIC when it's done!!

This ship needed its own series…much more elegant than her sister ships…I guess that’s the point of luxury craft.

When I look at the original model, I had a thought that it looked similar to the design of the Mig-31 Firefox.
