I mucked around with the model a bit, came up with two versions I liked, and then unfortunately ran headfirst into the same unmanageable conversion process that has repeatedly frustrated my attempts to make the Akula work. Cinema 4D
does not like reading from or converting to .3ds format. I can't make further use of them, so maybe somebody else can.

The other's either a fast civy transport, or a small-to-medium carrier with four launch and two landing decks in the side pods.
