Access gantry to orbiter while on the launchpad. It was only when I came to edit this shot that I noticed the saucer-shaped object in the sky. It appears the work of the RAF (Rabbit Astro Foundation) is being closely observed.
View this at original size and make up your own mind. The truth is out there.

The Bank of America Plaza is a 72-story, 280.7 m (921 ft) late-modernist skyscraper located in the Main Street District of downtown Dallas, Texas. As of 2015 is the tallest skyscraper in the city, the 3rd tallest in Texas and the 22nd tallest in the United States. It contains 1,900,000 sq ft (180,000 m2) of office space. The building was designed by JPJ Architects and developed by Bramalea LTD of Toronto. The original owner of this structure was a joint venture arrangement with Prudential Insurance, Bramalea, LTD and First National Bank of Dallas under parent company InterFirst Corporation. Construction commenced in 1983 and the tower was completed in 1985.
Since I can't decide: which version do you prefer?
I tried to make the U-Wing a bit thinner, hoping that it would make the smaller engines look more accurate compared to the rest of the body. The lower cabin was no problem at all, since I already designed a smaller version of that for the 1.0-version.
The cockpit section however is much more difficult, since it has to inhabit the hinges that angle the side panels.
I came up with the design shown in the image, which does make the whole model more sleek, at the cost of a lot of stability (the 1x2 and 1x4 panel pieces are all just held together with single studs of a few brackets!). It also introduces a few new gaps, and it leaves no space for the wedge-details that I so badly wanted to implement (even though they stand out too much).
It also makes the sides of the cockpit much bulkier and more round than they should be, resulting in a sleeker but more inaccurate look of that section. But the alternative would be to leave giant gaps between the Cockpit and the angled panels (showing the hinges I used to angle cockpit and side panels), which I personally dislike even more
Another (minor) Problem with the small engines is the fact that the round 2x2 plate isn't availabe in dark blue, but that's the least of my worries...

U-534
the red light flicker, sonar weak
air valves hissing open
half her pressure blown away
flounder in the ocean
see the Winter Boys -
drinking heavy water from a stone
bye-bye Empire, Empire bye-bye
shallow water - channel and tide
bye-bye Empire, Empire bye-bye
tired illusions drown in the night
and I can trace my history
down one generations to my home
in one of our submarines
one of our submarines is missing tonight
seems she ran aground on manoeuvres
one of our submarines

U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot a shortening of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any submarine, the English one (in common with several other languages) refers specifically to military submarines operated by Germany, particularly in the First and Second World Wars. Although at times they were efficient fleet weapons against enemy naval warships, they were most effectively used in an economic warfare role (commerce raiding) and enforcing a naval blockade against enemy shipping. The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in both wars were the merchant convoys bringing supplies from Canada, the British Empire, and the United States to the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and the Allied territories in the Mediterranean. Aboard U-Boats there was an unwritten law that the commander (and only the commander) wore a peaked cap with a white cover.
Utrecht, 21 December 2019.
Part of the new U-link network involves U-OV also operating on service 50. They operate between Utrecht and Driebergen-Zeist station. Syntus operating past there towards Veenendaal or Wageningen. U-OV ordered new Setra and Ebusco buses for this route, but until they arrived other buses could also be found on this service, such as this Ambassador.
Suit pressurized. Helmet locked. Oxygen flowing.
Right before climbing into the U-2, there’s a quiet ritual—every pilot reaches out and touches the nose of the aircraft. A gesture of respect, luck, and legacy.
The Dragon Lady has flown higher, longer, and deeper into the unknown than any aircraft in history.
To stand beside her is humbling. To fly her… beyond words.
