    @Skua ok I was trying more for appearance than maneuverability.

    @GravityGun913 it struggles with roll instability and nosediving quite a bit, but it was pretty easily fixed - move the main wings forward a bit, increase the size of the horizontal stabilisers to match the tailplan, reduce the size of the pitch control surfaces by about two thirds, and move the wing landing gear forward so that you can lose the nose wheel. That sounds like a lot written out here, but really it took no more than a couple of minutes. Works alright after that!
