I tweaked the design a bit, so it would fit my concept of what an inbred Interceptor would look like.

I added a pointy thing to the vertical stabilizer.

I added strakes to the wings.

I added "cooling fins" around the booster, to capture the design of the "cooling" fins around the engine mount of an Interceptor. (I don't know how else to describe the stubby fins around the engine mount.

I didn't add skids, as I figured the lower two fins on the booster filled that role.

I left the wing tips alone, as the long radio-antenna looking things filled the spot for the pods.

The fin angles didn't really match my standard fin alignment guide, so I went old-school, and actually eye-balled the fin placement. Except for the winglet placement. I made a simple jig, and tacked it into place while the winglets dried in place.
