Hello everyone! I have a first screenshot of my so-far progress.

Ignore the tube overhead, it is a remnant of my previous try at modelling the interior, I decided to go for another technique, which meant re-skinnig the entire cabin! That is the reason why the cabin doesn't fully fit the fuselage.
Anyhoodles, notice the sleek overall shape. It is somewhat similar to the XR2, because first of all I wanted it to be streamlining and yet have a high-lift profile, hence the cranked-arrow delta wing. Furthermore making the similarity, are the inward-canted vertical stabilizers, which make it behave better super and hypersonically.
What you see forward of it, is the beginning of the nose cone, yes, like the delta glider, but somewhat different, and that's not for now.Also notice the reason for the name, the gap between the aft wings makes it look like an arrowhead. After a first stable release(which is way ahead of us), the ArrowShaft system will be released- a series of boosters to increase capacity! Yay!

~So far for this time, Oz. :tiphat:
 
youre probably best keeping these "checkpoints" in the original thread, saves alot of mess for you ;)

and its looking good! got a slight, XR2 look to it

Roger that sir!

Thanks :P
And believe me, it's far better than the XR2 (at least in my mind it is :shifty:)
 
Rather nice, keep it coming.

Sure thing! By now I already got the cabin windows covered and the cockpit merges smoothly with the fuselage and I am looking for a way to add cabin thickness. Tomorrow I'll resume operations, it is getting late.
