Looks good but you might consider folding back toward the tail to reduce the vertical footprint as well. The 2nd fold wingtips should prevent fouling of the tail planes.

That's awesome!  Very creative and original!  

I think it looks good as is, though Thorvic might be on to something with the aft folding wings (unless you've come up with a carrier hangar deck that's four stories tall, in which case I want to see THAT model  :lol:  ).

Can't wait to see this one done!

Super neat. That's going to turn some heads, for sure.  Welcome to the madhouse, and looking forward to more pics!

Brilliant stuff & Welcome,

Maybe since we're concerned about the height, you could add another fold outboard of the outer engines going back down?

Excellent stuff.

That VC 10 team was built by Aircav and Lancer.
