Just about there on the basic shapes. The spine has been narrowed and reduced in tail height; the vehicle itself has been made flatter. The cockpit is hollowed out, and the canopies are separated. The landing gear bays have been begun.
At this point, it’s still unknown whether this’ll be in 1/72 or 1/48 scale. After a few more tinkerings, the model will be scaled for both and sent to rapid prototyping firms for quotes. Based on that, Fantastic Plastic will make their decision as to scale.
Looking further down the line, the following models have been tentatively accepted:
1/288 Convair Nexus SSTO booster
1/288 Douglas ROMBUS SSTO booster
1/288 Douglas Ithacus troop transport (probably the same kit as the ROMBUS, with parts to build one or the other
The following kits have been confirmed:
1/72 or 1/48 Tremulis “Zero Fighter”
1/144 Convair NX-2 (this will be an old-school physical model, based on a kit I nearly put into production 5 years ago)
1/72 Convair Super Hustler
