Looks terrific! Shading, rigging, overall look.
I would only complain about the dark photos and red stars.

Thank you all, glad that you liked it)).

Well, finally criticism)) Here too little).
Photos I took in the evening under floodlights - it was necessary urgently give the model the customer, and I was in a hurry. Made them lighter, but probably not enough.
And the stars - what about them? Perhaps it was necessary to allocate them stronger ribs ribs?.

Photos are better but might be even better. The problem is that the upper wing leaves the fuselage in shadow. To avoid this I usually place the lamps at the level of the camera lens, to illuminate the object faces which will appear in the photo.
As for the red stars, it is nothing related to modelling. It is my very private allergy, I do not like them in general. Do not pay too much attention to this remark...

Don't know how I managed to miss the final product, Siskin, but she is truly stunning!  Congratulations on a remarkable build.
Cheers,
