Simply stunning. Looks like two servos in the tail for elev Adrian?

You do have the options of either one inside the fuse, or, two on the stabs.

The Aurea, another new pattern from Mr. Naruke, is a modification of Astral XX with fat fuselage and thicker wing. Heard that it is designed for the P-07.

According to Alex Lau, the X-treme Astral XX is exactly the same as Naruke Hobby's XX Plus. The Aurea - which has been in the market for about a year now, also has the same dimension as the XX Plus - and its manufactured by X-treme as well. The only difference is it doesn't has a seam on the fuse, and its only for Japanese market only.

The information came from my friend Mr. Ikegami, the editor of Gami Report, that the Aurea has size difference against Astral XX, more drag but fly relatively smooth, construction seam not mentioned.

You're right, Eric. It is different than the XX, because the Plus is slightly bigger than the first XX.
