Running list for review has been started.

Things to fix:
[ul]
[li]Pilot's seat and rudder pedals are offset to the right in the cockpit tub.[/li]
[li]Leading edges of all control surfaces need to be rounded of so as not to appear as panel lines.[/li]
[li]Horizontal stabilizer seems to be located too high.[/li]
[li]elephants on Siamese markings seem pinkish instead of white.[/li]
[/ul]
Things that could be improved by Meng:
[ul]
[li]Use sliding pin molds to open the bores of the armament.[/li]
[li]Include an instrument panel and stencils.[/li]
[li]Print the white on the Siamese markings first, then the elephant outline or include a second set of white printed elephants.[/li]
[li]Have separate scissors on the landing gear oleo struts and flattened wheels.[/li]
[/ul]

Well, it seems the horizontal stabilizer is in the correct position to make the most of the air flow generated by the pusher propeller.

Here are half a dozen detail images starting with the off centered cockpit:
