Both hose/drogue and flying boom hardware, uses the cargo variant's opening nose, bigger engines, raked wing tips, a waterpark . . . and its a UAV?

well is both hose/drogue and flying boom doesn't have the opening nose, but does has the 400 wing, so that's 3 down, more to go

FiCON hook? Flying boom refuelling points on the wings and fuselage? STS transporter tailplane arrangement?

Looks like it, they have pointed 'spinners' which makes them R-R Trents of some sort. I'll check my Minicraft 777s when I get home for a match.

A 747 twin, LOVE it!

they are trents but not the 1000 but the 900 from the airbus 380 and not two but 3 of them
