Hi Fritzkrieg,
I like the improvments you made with this custom ship. I got a couple of recommendations that you could add. On the wings, I would recommend replacing the side guns with the ball cannons that came with the AOTC clone pilot. On the front of the ship, I would recommend placing a second dish cannon for semitry reasons, ballance the ship. On the tail, I recommend putting Pod Racer engines, one on each side. Kind of like how an A-10 warthog fighter looks like, or maybe the ARC 170 engine and wings.
Again, the overall look of the ship and using the Hind-D helicopter base body work out well. I wish you all the luck with this project.
