Better view of the fins' handling: the short fins were still too long to put on the tailplane or on the shortend wing, so they became parts of V-tail, external:

That's one amazing-looking....THING you got there! I think it is one of your best works.

Just curious, what is the "black end" at the front of the lower-right boom? It is larger in diameter than the propeller nacelles, but I cannot tell from the photo if it is an opening or solid. Can you please explain?

it is an air intake for a huge ramjet, with ventral exhaust (and titanium fin behind)... what-if...
