Well, how about a strong and solid center block, like a main fueselage, and
then attach the fighter bays on either side? Kind of like this from front
view: <=O=>

The "O" is the center body, nice and solid, the "=" and "<" or ">" are the
big baseplates for the fighter bays. You could use 10" X 10" baseplates on
top and road plates below. Maybe a bunch of click-hinges and technic beams
could create a sloping frame (but it might be slightly more steep than you'd
prefer).


That's A LOT of long technic bricks to tie it all together!  Even scaled
down, it's big.  Two big grey plates wide for sure.  Or at least each side
one a slight 15-20 degree angle.  I'm more concerned with creating the
sloped undercarriage - perhaps two layers of baseplate with one layer turned
upside-down to create a suitable profile.

Oooohhh, that'd be interesting.

I'm going to have to brainstorm that one.  Perhaps whe my wife and I move
into the new house and I get my..oooOOoooOohohohohh (drool)...dedicated
dream lego room, I'll have the space to tackle that one.

Heh! Space makes a difference!
