Here is the family shot everything so far.



Thanks for the link Steve, I vaguely remember the show now that I see the pics. I like the Hammerhead, looks cool.

I like the overall design of the ship but am a bit worried about the engines being fixed to those wings. I don't think they'd be able to withstand the thrusting stress.
I was a bit worried about this myself at first. I hade the wing quite deep, and put those circular setion pipes along their length to beef them up, plus some deep intakes underneath. I think the essence would be lost if I re-positioned them now. Just for interest, here is a pick of a mid sixties German concept for a supersonic vertical take off fighter. It had two afterburning engines in each wingtip pod, plus a couple of lift engines in the fuselage, similar to my configuration here. Although this kind of SF craft has nothing to do reality
