Is that partially from a kit or your own design?

The idea was to make a pulp flying wing similar to those seen in Airboy or Sky Captian. So I started with the 1/48 Testors Me-163 kit and simply cut off the tail fin. Then some blokes on here suggested winglets. I happened to have some left over from the Curtiss Rocketplane conversion, and so I tried the left over fins on the wing and viola the X-163 was born.

Outstanding work. I love the sky cowboy
