I have made a few minor updates to
Chucky Chucky Skunk's wonderful original design aircraft used in his comic which has brought my quest for canon a little closer.
If we were to compare this update agaisn't my earlier work, one very noticeable change, which admittedly is a flub which I must address in my further editing of this model, would be the twin antenna on the fuselage roof which appear as "ears" for lack of a better term. These "ears" have been scaled too small but fixing this issue is easy so I'm not concerned in the least.
There is one feature which I am certain I have improved upon, and that would be the NACA inlet ducts between the windshield and foot-well vision ports just ahead of either passenger or pilot's hatch on either side. Chucky would know what they are for, but for me the 3D artist transcribing his vision into a 3D model, I'd say the NACA ducts are there for crew comfort. I'd imagine those small NACA ducts were ram-air ventilation similar to this https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/m.....mbal-cabri.jpg seen here on a Guimbal Cabri G2 compact light aviation helicopter. The duct is connected to a small tube just inside of the door to the Cabri, and in the case of the SP-2 Chucky has envisioned, I'd imagine a similar set up would conduct air into the cabin and provide cooling for this enclosed unpressurized light craft with little to no moving parts except for the automobile like A.C. vent connected to the tube which the pilot could aim at him/her self to cool off.
In this update I've also finally included the propeller within the tail of the SP-2. It wasn't until recently when Chucky uploaded a more recent page to his comic that I could conclude it was a three winged(bladed) air screw. I supposed I could have modeled a propeller for chucky early on and fudged the blade count, but... I am uncomfortable suggesting design elements for someone's beloved personal project, so I did the smart thing and plopped a simple blurred disk in place of the propeller and waited until a canon answer to my question arose.
Next up on my short to do list for this charming craft, would be to construct a simple interior which I can at a later date, refine to resemble the cockpit of Chucky's SP-2 as accurately as I can make it, otherwise my quest for accuracy is near a wonderful end.
I hope Chucky will enjoy this.

Nice work! Reminds me of Molnya-1 [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPO_M.....niya_Molniya-1 ] and Optica [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgley_Optica ]
Yep the Optica was the first bird that came to mind when I saw the ducted fan on Chucky's plane. ^w^
Got to admit that the Russians are pretty forward thinking when it comes to aircraft design. That Molnya looks solid like stone, but would fly anything like a rock. The forward canard in concert with the conventional twin boom tail must give this bird some really good lift at slow speeds. Just the sort of thing you would want with a utility transport.
