Krakow class Subsidised Merchant

One day I decided that I didn't like the classic Subsidised merchant - with it's bullet shape and pretend wings with the flat unaerodynamic triangle at the root and perfectly flat, featureless rear end. Aesthetically it made baby Jesus cry but the idea and layout was pretty sound. So, I started redesigning the look. I tried to keep most of the major features in the same place but with a sleeker, more streamlined look. I haven't gotten far with this one yet (big surprise!) and like most of the other designs here, the images below are little more than sketches.
