Looks: 9/10. Looks very nice, kind of like a cooler version of the old vertigo. I like the smoothness between the wings and the fuselage.
Function: 8/10. Accelerates fast, really hard to VTOL because of where the CoM is so far back, but if you moved it forward it would mess up the flight model.
Ingenuity: 9/10. Very good use of structural panels, the only problem is that the panel behind the cockpit is asymmetrical. I don't think it does anything, but it's kind of weird. I liked the drop tanks!
Build Quality: 9/10. Again, weird asymmetrical thing, I'm not entirely sure why the engines aren't attached to the fuselage and the wings do flex quite a bit with the engines, but it's not terrible.
Total: 35/40
