The latest episodes of the animated show had an appearance by the
original
comic-style Anastasia (bubble canopies, fins on the wingtips) as a
crashing
"prototype". The larger "modern" version (separating fuselage,
bomber-style
canopies) is if anything simpler in basic shape. My problem would be
making
a recognisable job of it :-(.

The Treen fighters are neat- I'm sure they could be kitbashed from a
Me-262.
