Maybe you remember I built a Twin-Vampire
(see http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=7511.0 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=7511.0) )
But I got a third Novo Vampire 1/72 from Unicraft Models, and I plan to make a half-size Vampire from it.
The wing will have reduced span and be very low not middle-wing.
The booms will not be on the wings but on the side of the fuselage, not going far in the rear, and holding a T-tail (or Pi-tail more exactly).

Will watch you bring this delightful concept into being with interest.
Bonne année, mon ami!
