Hi all here is my revised top wing, not as dramatic but I like it







so what do you think. Still got to make the front more aerodynamic(not sure how yet) but I am sure it will come.

Well I'm calling it finished, what do you think, air rifle target practice, or keep.

Oh wow! That is absolutely crazy but very cool.

Even if you decide not to keep it, I definitely wouldn't use it for target practice. The wing structure is really sleek and would also look great on a more conventional aircraft.

Looks delightful.  As I said, it still reminds me of that Mars lander.

Like incongruence of slow much outdated M3 tank combined with modern jet wing. :)
Foreplane and winglet on turret are right on.
I tried the old-new combination with Slowy Jet
Love how you did it with flying tank and works in its own strange way 8)

Looks awsome, but I'm not sure about the airworthyness because of the center of gravity.
