It seemed to be missing something, so I put in a Thunderbolt Starfury from the TV series BABYLON 5. The only thing wrong with it is that the little airfoil "wings" are in the retracted position (for vacuum flight or entry into the station), and as anyone who followed the series would know, atmospheric entry *requires* the airfoils be extended .
