Surely a composite flying wing with guided bomb, a kind of cruise missile with unstoppable delivery.
It flies to a point above the target, where the undercarriage does the splits (those wing "supporting struts" are actually hydraulic rams) and the bomb is released. The latter plummets down unstoppably, at ever-increasing speed, while the wing recovers its composure before turning round and flying back home.
If there isn't already a video of it on YouTube somewhere, there should be!
Cheers.

Pointy and blunt at the same time ;D

You make it sound like a grumpy school teacher.  :-\
Cheers.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

so special...
I feel inspired, I must draw something with such a layout. Probably a P-38 with twin engines and twin-noses, or a P-51 with p-82 twin, dreams will decide...

Thanks for this approval! ;)
I saw you commented on the P-51, the P-38 is at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=20326.5880 (an observer with low posts).
And thanks again for the inspiration! :thumbsup:

Certainly got a Mistel look about it with that nose  ;D

Good one Eric  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I hadn't thought of a mistl : that happens in whiffing, imagination in the viewers goes further than imagination of the maker  ;D

Ah but that's the great thing about any good work of art. It stimulates the brain so you start thinking beyond the piece in front of you and modelmaking, especially whiffery, is exactly the same. :thumbsup:
