Excellent model

Very original and well finished once again.

Perhaps, because of the big wingspan, it would have been better to put two landing gear near the tips of the wings; like the U2.

...*TWO* derivatives of the He-162 in whiffery here! (My "Newt" is the other). Great job, Tuck!

PACO--having already worked with the TINY He-162 for my own whif, I would guess the wingspan of this aircraft is only about 44 feet or so, with lots of dihedral, having no need for "outrigger" wheels any more than a Stuka would!

Brilliant

I can just see it silhouetted against the moon as it prepares to swoop down on an unsuspecting British Heavy a sort of reverse bat wing

You dont see enough forward swept wings.

.........and being zapped by a twin Merlin powered Westland Welkin that had been stooging at 42,000 feet waiting for exactly this opportunity!
