Um, WHY am I doing up a cockpit for your Vulture again????  :P
This is honestly better than any instrument panel I have ever done!

I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Eddie, you're like the McGyver of Modelling:

"Using some discarded fall leaves, baking soda, bubble gum and some aluminum shavings, I was able to fashion my own, fully functional small-block Chevy engine."

<_<

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

You, Sir, are a fibber. ;)  :lol: You're just being modest. Thank you very much for the compliment. I think I spent way too much time on this, epecially since it will be closed up, but I couldn't help myself. :wacko: I just like the old style cockpits.

I am just bowled over by your amazing talent at detail work, Mr Miller! Your builds never cease to amaze and delight me.

Okay, opinion time. Does it look better with a single tail, or the double spaced out over the wings. If I use the single tail, I would have to enlarge it a bit. Also, here's the modified bomb bay installed.

Mmmmmmm, twin tails.

Maybe canted outwards, slightly?

Great work, baby.

Twin tails - it has a XF-108 look to it.

That was my exact thought when looking at that pic.

Nice work, Eddie!

I gotta vote for the twin-rudders, Mr Miller! It gives it a very fast, "hot ship" look!

I like both, but if you go with the twin I would go with Barry's suggestion of canting them out a bit.

I do think if you made the tail almost as large as the wing connecting right behind the cockpit bulge it would be pretty cool too.

It's lookin' great either way :)

I vote for twins, but I would suggest moving them inward and canting them outward. But that's just what I think.

Obviously, I vote for twins too ;)

Double over the wings!!

Ooh! Ooh! OOH!! I need to amend my earlier vote for the twin tails. Do you happen to have a 1/48 Tornado? Do you see where I'm going with this? Use that monster of a tail in a single config. and blend a fuselage spine from it to the canopy(also helps fill in that odd step from -106 to -15).
