It may not have any wings to speak of, but it's a MOST impressive looking model. Good job.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Capt. Poe? A little Star Wars influence?
Looks really good!

I still don't like this aircraft but you've certainly made it look much more interesting than I would have thought possible, Frank!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :mellow:

The iridescent paint & the interference film are pure genius!  :bow:  :bow:

Thanks for all the comments! The interference film really adds something to this wingless thing.

The Poe name was in honor of Edgar (since this is a raven black plane) not Star Wars.

Looks fast and dangerous (to the crew as well as the enemy!)

Great work!
Perfect is the enemy of Finished. I presume. I've never achieved either.

Great result! Much thicker/taller than I would have expected. 

Well done on a difficult kit!

Also Poe's Law

Poe's law needs a corollary. No mater how extreme and ridiculous or falsely a science fact or theory is presented, someone will accept it as truth.

I posted this over at BtS, but I'm working on a 1/35 drone version of this. It'll be about 180mm/7" long. At 6.3m, it'll be a smallish vehicle. The FSW are for extra lift and can be detached. A lot of details are missing, but I'm going to try a quick and dirty FDM print this week:
