OK, it took a little longer than I hoped but here she is, not quite finished but what the heck.
I've a half ready 'truth' behind the aircraft that I'll post when it's done.
Basically the Arado 555 has become a very long range bomber interceptor armed with two long range air / fuel missiles that clear a whole lot of airspace when they go bang.  The front of the long range tanks each hold 42 2" rockets and the last line of attack is the four 47mm cannon in the wing 'roots'.  The hump on her back is a long range look up radar, the aircraft operates at low level until contact is made with the Soviet bomber fleet. 
Don't blame me for this nonesense, aircav made me do it! :rolleyes:
(OH yes, she's also been zapped by 100 squadron aircrew).
PK.

Gasp!  :o

4 x 47 mm cannon! That should slow them down a tad. 
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! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
