Converting an Asset Store Model

I found a great ship model on the Unity asset store the other day, a great model of a starfighter type ship that I wanted to convert into a more racing type ship, so I imported the model into 3DS and started experimenting.

I wanted the ship to look more like a racing anti gravity ship, rather than a space travelling starfighter. To do this I deleted certain parts of the model I felt didn't fit a racing ship aesthetic. (The biggest of these is the air vents on the sides of the wings that I removed.)

I am also changing the texture and this is the first ship I am texturing for the Echo Technology team while using the original as a base, and changing the colours while adding team logos and the like.
