The bad guys are coming! This is the current take on the Sojucul Gunships. Missile pods moved to either side of the fuselage ahead of the thinner wings that are swept and a pointed nose to improve trans-sonic aerodynmics. Black paint because.

The previous version below was still a little too much like a Dornier Do 31. The design was influenced by several other 60s-era aircraft and spacecraft. Its engines are powerful enough to push it into orbit and the nose is shaped so air doesn’t even touch the inner wings above mach 1.
