I wouldn't want to have to reverse park it.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

;D  funnily enough you can see the rear view mirror in a small gap between the jets  ;D  ;D ( not enough for parking though  ;D )

If you only had the top two jet engines, and you linked them to the wings with "quarter-circle" struts of some kind, you could set it up so that the car could drive out of the wing+engine combo and be used like a normal car.

I'm not sure that a Countach CAN be used 'like a normal car'.  ;D  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That sounds a great idea.... although a bit beyond my build skills 👍

 :thumbsup:   :wub:   as well here,  a very elegant build so far
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Many thanks guys  :cheers:

Not sure now whether to add vertical fins on the wings or not now?  :unsure:  like the Ho229  :unsure:  or the British Flying Wing of Dunne 1910  ;D  ;D
