Very nice.
I like the wing profile.
Have you tied the underwing fatback style to give the lift? or just with a short fat underwing with a longer sparse one over the top?

The front half of the body is litebrite built up as you come to the front,starting to create profile to help wing,then the hackle to help the wing
The wing is done in the method froden does brush out underfur from fox,teased out in center and offered up and tied in flat to be concave from underneath and convex from top
there is another layer of yellow fox and flash slightly longer and more material but not to bulk up more to surround first wing but leave transparent,tied in same way
Then the last layer i think i used hot ginger very same as last but slightly more
the wing is transparent so if you look underneath it us like a tent roof from inside but you can see light through it,if you look from top you can see through not as clearly and the profile of the wing is teardrop shaped,as from front same shape
On thinking what you meant by fatback i assume thats what you mean
I use this method for my tubes with natural material , but when i use synthetics i use post wing where wing is tied in opp way and then tied back
(toothbrush 3 in tesco/asda under £1, aqua sure cutting velcro on opp side wing dubbing brush etc,)
garbling on again thanks for comments
