And now, for the next project on the boards.
This one is a WIP that I actually started about two years ago.
It's based on ships both from stories I've worked on, and RPs I've been in.
The original ship: Changewind One

Is refurbished as the transport craft: Omega 7 Tau

As is clear from the schematics, the base model is an SR-71 Blackbird. But there are some obvious tweaks to make it unique
I'm starting with the old Revell 1/72 scale kit, but I'll be building the ship itself at 1/144 scale

Base kit parts

mods after chopping out a section of fuselage, chopping off the engines, and cutting off the nose

Original roughs for the wing engines.

Going to be using the landing gear from the Moebius mk7 Viper, as well as creating the new cockpit deck using the backs of the seats from the mk7 kit as well.
I've also begun reworkign the cockpit opening for my new layout

Starts on the new engine blanks. These still need a lot of work as yet
![CW-1-06.jpg CW-1-06.jpg](https://data.www.scalemodeladdict.com/attachments/26/26202-faed6f717f77cc4bc5072b1bb51beb1e.jpg)
The vent detail on the Blackbird has been filled in mostly with Aves Apoxie Sculpt, although I left some sections in the bottom clear to represent the VLS thruster vents.
I've also cut new landing gear wells in the bottom of the ship.
