Looks like a take on the Avro bomber of the time period. Well done!

Interesting design. Is it atmospheric and space capable craft, or atmospheric only?

Atmosphere and space - ground-to-orbit.

I think that Agricola64 might be onto something about the fin. Besides, the twin fins might give her more of a Chesley Bonestell feeling. Overall, I really like this ship.

maybe- I don't want it to look too Bonestell-y. But it does need to look more science fiction-y

even has the distinctive "vulcan kink" on the leading wing edge 8)
suggestion - the rudder in the middle will be very ineffective as long as the upper stage is being carried - why not eliminate it completely and upgrade the two shorter stabilators on the wing to real rudders?

I was going to do that, mostly to stop it looking too much like a Vulcan. But it didn't look right. Maybe I'll give it another go
