OH MY GOD! Thats one of the first models in a while to really catch my eye. Dude I love your stuff, your style is very unique in its look, the grungy-ness of your metals being a highlight of it, definitely. What are you doing all this stuff for?

Cabine? Canopy? if it is a drone, there is no room for a pilot Maxim.
The meaning of Drone is pilotless machine. :-)

Nice stuff as usual.

Martin Schultz is about to release a flying vehicle pack. Try to contact him!! He released a blog not to long ago with a video in it that should catch your eye

Nice model, very nice. Love the texturing also, it can be a real nightmare sometimes to get it to look just how you want it.

Looks cool.

Kind of looks like a cross between an Imperial shuttle and and the Alien from (funnily enough) Alien.

There's something about the red "cockpit area" that doesnt look right to me. It feels like it should have maybe some glowing lazer spot or something on it (think about target tracking and terrain following).

Nice though, I like the blue colouring and the texture work looks good.

Very nice. Only critique I can give is that the side view of it is kinda uninteresting. It's kinda like this block of metal. The top and back view have terrific profiles, very clear to see what it is. Maybe pull the wings and guns down a bit under the bulk so the profile is a little clearer?

Cheers,

Is it aerodynamically sound? Looks a bit front heavy .... heh

But on a serious note, very nice job ... keep em coming ...

Heheh, very nice as usual.
Bank is true, post your stuff more often, it's a delightment for our eyes Maxim. 8-)

Suggestion: keep the cockpit/central fuselage alone and have wings, weapons and thrusters as mounted objects.

also there is mount points for weapons and may be turret in bigger version
