And longer wings .


Naturally...........  ;D
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! :)

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

Goes without saying.  Maybe increase the span by adding sections inboard of the landing gear bays containing engines?


Doing that would change the profile of this plane Fred and i think for all the better too.
Stretching it a wee bit will make this plane look far better as to me it  looks to short in the wing span ..it would balance out better in its looks.
The engines i agree with..after thought for sure when you look at the Horten..they need to be built into the fusealge not stuck on top.
4 bigish intake mounted slightly above the fusealge just behind the cockpit and slightly away from it ..B2 Stealth style...would look pretty cool and with longer wings it would be one of a kind and look far better for it.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
