Nice, though a little wide. If this is a spacefighter, gimble the guns.

Um, wide?
The wingspan on this drone is ~5.5m.
Thats roughly 4m less than an F16 or Eurofighter.

I think he refers to how it looks, not to its size... the body is a bit thin for the wings.

Speaking of which, it gives me Death Glider (Stargate) vibes... probably just the way those wings are canted forwards, though. But that's cool, so you're alright :)

Really. I was thinking it was more Batwing like.

Anyway, upgraded it slightly.
Added some logo's to the wings, countermeasure launches at the rear and changed the colour of the metal to red.

You might want to make those logos painted on rather being part of structure of drone (especially if it's atmossphare capable).

More updates.
Painted logos, Underwing missile pods(smaller bore than the under body pod), and slight change of body colour.

Drone11
Drone12

Next addition will probably be some vector engines on the body and some actual missiles.

Comments so far?

Weird, but in good way.
