I didn't quite see the why of that nosejob you posted on the design thread until I saw this. Very much like the original!

Rune. Good job as always!

Well how's my XB-70 supposed to outrun a Mig-25 SSTO?!

Perfect timing! Let the arms race begin.

Nice plane.

Edit: when I first saw this it was on my phone, I didn't notice that the thing can get to Duna or do a moon landing. Incredible.
