Will there be a cockpit or is this a pure rocket/missile?

[Darkfold]

This is pure SA-75 Dvina. I build it as memorial of fail of Operation Longbow when this missiles were used against two SR-71 in recon flight over czechoslovakia (one was shoot down by S-200 Vega, second was shoot down by MiG-23MF fighter).

With the first two pics, I wondered where you were going to put the landing gear....     (thought it was another verti-jet of some kind).
