Damn, you just beat me to it! I was about to ask the exact same thing! The UVX would be fantastic, and open for so many variations in load out and weapons fit.
Very beautiful design, not just he drawing, but the original ship as well. But that was the case with most of the ships, aircraft and vehicles used by Germany in WWII Very nice :) But I doubt if he was ever aboard much; as he seemed to be very uninterested in anything nautical. Still, several carefu...

Would be a hard job. that would be the asuka, as there is some data of that one...... I have images from the artbook.... one of those ...

I think it's going to have a hard time getting of the ground with the wings that far back. Perhaps (retractable) canards could be added? Nice lifting body design tho...
