This is genius! Is this carved from balsa foam? How big is it?

Very nice indeed.  It tempts me to see what could be done combining, and scaling, various Northrop LO shapes.  For instance, scale a TSSAM up to the size of a Tacit Blue and combine with a scaled B-2 wing and engine installation on each side.

It's certainly got a very high cuteness factor!

Nice work!

Nice!  Perfect for sneaking away on a "business trip" to some place remote :)

Hi everyone,thanks a lot for all your comments, and Gingie ,the material i use is blue polystyrene for the fuselage and plastic materials for the other parts(wings,rudders,etc...),the scale i usually work is 1/175,this is more a less the same size as the 1/144 scale used on some revell models, elmeyerle you are actually right, i "combined" the design of the MV-36, an aircraft that i saw here in the forum some time ago,with a side by side cockpit layout,and this is the result,I'm glad that you liked it.

You really got the touch with these builds.  Looks like MV-XX could be a real design and flying.   :)

Thanks a lot finsrin and Chrisf,you are right Chris,there is a ramp in the back,more a less like the one on the V-22,to make load or unload more easily done.
