Here's a little stealth thing made from bits and spares...

King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Looks goood Archie, but can't really make it out, part of it's stealth features I guess!  Got any more photos, a plan-view would be nice?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Ahhh, fantastic!  With the other photo being a bit dark, I thought you'd given the Horten a longer nose.  Something very 'Roswell' about it, cue X-Files style music....

Something to do with those rumours of the Germans reverse engineering UFO's??? ^_^

Thanks for the cheers comments, guys!  ^_^
The central section of this aircraft is... the bomb bay doors carrying the blue steel in the airfix Vulcan!
As the cruise missile was carried recessed, there was an oval "hole".
After building my Vulcan as a french machine (with "standard" bomb bay doors) I was left with this part...
some months ago I asked Heller for bubble canopies (particularly from F-16s, F-15 and the like).
So a F-16B canopy went on the Vulcan spare... I also had two Jaguars exhausts left by my Blackburn P.146 :)
The rest is cardboard and imagination  B)
