I shall start with this Mustang (Academy mould repopped by a South Korean company) and my bag of wings and I shall create something our friend Tophe would have enjoyed.

A bag of wings, eh? Everyone should have one............. 

Tophe and Burt Rutan! Move the original wings forward and add another set higher and behind the cockpit.

I thought everyone did.   

I like to sort my parts.  I have a bag of wings, a bag of stabilisers, a bag of undercarriages, a box of props and engines...

There are some Intruder wings in that bag.  Maybe one of them on one side and then something else on the other?

Got more engines?

I got a box full...

So far I have painted the interior.
Not really photo worthy work.

I also found Hasegawa Intruder wings are suitable for what I want to do.
The undercarriage is going to be interesting.

😆 🤣 😂...oh that's so true 

Mockup.  Thats an Intruder starboard wing.  Not sure about the horizontal tail surface(s) yet.

My UC issues will be due to having a normal RH main leg, the LH main leg in the wingtip pod, and a tail wheel.

That's starting to look Star Wars ish. I like it!

Possibly shades of B-Wing?



Progress.  I know it looks similar to the mock up but I changed the outer wing angle and have glued the wings and pod together.  The pod has an undercarriage bay cut into it and an internal floor.  It will be getting a canopy on top.  I'm not yet sure if the pod houses the pilot or his dog.  Or maybe a droid?
