Let's see... looks like a B-49 with nuclear engines and cockpit as far as possible from radiations... what-a-machine!

[Mossie]

Great looking machine!  That little extra distance of the cockpit from the engines would really make very little difference to the pilots being fried by gamma-rays though!  Part of the trouble with nuclear powered aircraft, the amount of sheilding needed to protect crew weighed so much it was hardly worth bothering.  Then there was the fallout when one of these things crashed.....      

PS, Archie, theres a few spacey ones from Fantastic Plastic that you might like:
