    @ChiChiWerx I had originally used the fuselage intakes but they were not as true to the design. As the Su-15 was produced they split the intake and angled it outwards. It looks good either way.

    Not bad, how does she fly? You know you can use the resizeable intakes to replace the two per side stock intakes, it's much easier and you have the opportunity to really shape the intakes into what you need them to be.
