I wasn't sure about design either, but having seen the original SOTL CG model - which you've done a great job of recreating - it's really grown on me and can't wait to see finished. I always imagined the KM as some rusty old freighter but this is interesting alternative take. Are you going to have open hangars, or go the MVAM route like your connie?
PS: did you ever consider madkoi's Balmung? I'm prob in a minority but I think it's much nicer design than Probert's prototype. imho ;)
