As a late addendum, a creative ...comment from a Canada-based fellow modeler Franclab at FlickR:

Who dares to build this one?  ;D

What to do with those vintage Lindberg Do-335 kits perhaps?  :unsure:
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! :)

I already wondered if the concept could even be taken further. There were bomber designs on the drawing board where the cockpit was moved into a wingtip nacelle (in the other side a manned weapon station), while the fuselage only contained an engine and a bomb bay:



Now combine that with the Do 335, and add a swiveling mechanism to the cockpit(2)...?  :rolleyes:

You're welcome. And your feedback confirms that Flyer's basic concept has a lot of potential.

My favorite pic is this one

As this is how I pictured it utilized, dotted around high value targets in forrests. :thumbsup:

And this shot is also a good one. :thumbsup:
