Fine job of double fuselages, blend smoothly together. :smiley:
Looks extra maneuverable with front & rear booms and wing rudders (for side slipping).

Me too and I love your Twampire's wing-mounted vertical surfaces  :smiley:

Thanks a lot! Your comments make me feel happy to still build models a little, not drawing only, and I consider requiring model kits for Christmas (and my birthday, 2 days after)... :smiley: [in case Santa Claus does exist]

Maybe you noticed that I used:
2 pods, 2 sets of booms, 2 sets of half-tailplanes, 2 sets of fins, 1 set of half-wings...
So there was, remaining: one set of half-wings... :(

No seriously (Historically): while the Twampire was ordered as main fighter of the RAF, twin-boom, two-seater, there was also an order for a high-speed flying-wing, having a prone pilot: the Wingire: :smiley:

He-he, Wingire! I like it. Certainly with so little space the pilots need being lying down. Looks a lot like the Horten Ho 229  :icon_meditation:

That's a great use of leftover parts, Tophe and utterly plausible!

Thanks Brian!
And yes, GTX, this could be an unmanned aircraft, with black electronic compartment (not black glazed part)...
