Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

it's the SMER 1/48, with indeed a 1/72 Twin Mustang pod reversed :
pilots are selected to have small features  ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yeah, the 1/72 Delta kit is nowhere NEAR as good as those are!
