It does kinda remind me of the 'Grabthar's Hammer' - a collection of spare parts put together over a year by 9 not-right-in-the-head modelers ... It, too, had a ''warp sled.''

I had a good laugh at the "engines" that are some sort of castle towers! That's an awesome build!

I've posted a few photos on the What if Models Facebook page, seems to have gone down rather well with the community. I  can see a Airbus A400M Atlas gunship and possibly the Convair B-36 Peacemaker as a gunship as well for two future builds.

Kerick, that's exactly what they were - toy towers.  They tops came off, and they contained a dragon you could snap together.  I prettied them up with metal bits and bobs - the forward ends are airline breakfast fruit-cups.  :) 

The probe was an add-on - a drone - from a Testors speculative aircraft supposedly based on the Lockheed Blackbird - it was supposed to loiter outside hostile airspace and send the hypersonic drone in to take the pictures.  If that's the D-21, then you nailed it.  :)
