On Hitlers' birthday, 1947 a secret weapon was launched from a remote base in Norway to attack the American mainland. The aircraft, an Arado bomber with Ramjet engines launched with RATO high into the atmosphere. At a speed of Mach 3 this aircraft was unstopable........the rest is history.

Model : Monogram 'Orient Express' with canards from a YF-22. Cockpit canopy, 1/48 fuel tank half.

Wow!  That is really impressive.  I never gave much thought to that Monogram Orient Express snap-kit when it was available on the shelf and now you show up with a wicked WHIF based on that thing.  Splendid is about the best description I can come up with at the moment.

Cool concept  :mellow:

Murphy's 2nd Law - An object in motion will be going in the wrong direction
Murphy's 3rd Law - For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction

So perfect looking I'd swear it's a CGI.  What a great concept, Glenn, finished off in just the right camo.

As you liked the first shot, here's the undersides. The Nuke is a mix of E'green tubing, a fuel tank piece for the nose, and sheet for the fins. It fits half way inside the lower body.
Lower markings, hand painted....couldn't find any real ones.
