of all the things to pick up on, you decide that its the lifts which are just too unnecessary 

No, just that they're an odd shape and I can't work out why. The rest of it is PERFECT!

Actually, this submarine super-carrier makes an odd kind of sense if you assume a world in which the volatile fuels used to propel ICBM's & SLBM's were too volatile & ballistic missile development got no further than short-range tactical/battle-field weapons using more conventional fuels; possibly being air-launched for a limited stand-off capability.

Maybe the lifts are lozenge-shaped for the nuclear missile bombers, which are oddly shaped & which have already taken off, with the fighters now launching to catch them up & escort them to their target?

I like it, that works for me.

Now that's the type of logic I applaud

My guess would be that the artist decided the lifts needed to be stealthed. Best explanation I can come up with. I like the design
and concept, but the subamarine elements are more jarring to me than the shape of the lifts.

The passing away of Ralph McQuarrie has produced a large post of his work on the current frontpage.

The current frontpage might be interesting for the UAV Tiltrotors and one man fliers.

The last one (a VTOL fighter) looks like it is inspired by F-22 and X-32.

Many are probably familiar but this Cutangus post is the on the current front page.

Found this:

And ordered the Revell black cab kit straight away!
