Thanks for the pics, Ger. I agree, it doesn't look like they put a lot of thought into that ship but that happened a lot back in the day. They can't do that these days because we now have the internet and people tend to crucify a design that they don't like on their blogs and forums.
Having said that, it's not totally without merit. It looks like a nice throwback to the old first century Sci-Fi rockets and could make for a cool CGI model.
