In Australia we have some fanfare this weekend celebrating 100 years of the Royal Australian Air Force. Im not aware of many planes which have been released with an RAAF livery, although I have painted some myself.
Some interesting options in the historical lineup. The F-111 was in service until 2010 and the legacy camo was stunning.

Gringotuerto Do you measure the CG inverted?
JLambCWU We hope it's true. I think most people see the B1 and don't think of it's performance, or maybe I used to. But I was riding my snowmachine with 4 buddies on theirs, deep in the mountains far from roads but up on a high valley that is 5 miles wide and 10 miles long that is between two rocky bands of mountains, deep soft snow, so we were going fast with ease, to cover distance and it was a sunny day. All of the sudden a B1 appears in my peripheral vision ripping past us in the same direction, super low. If my sphincter hadn't slammed shut I would have crapped myself. And I literally almost fell off the snowmachine cause my arms went weak from the shock. But he rips past us, covering miles in seconds, climbs rapidly above the mountains and banks hard to come back around. He drops back down into the valley and hard banks a 180 degree arc right down in the valley. And then heads down the valley again climbing slightly above the peaks and was gone in a blink. Our mouths were gaping holes and our eyes locked open.
I know modern fighters probably could have performed an airshow in that valley, but to see the B1 do that absolutely changed the way I see that plane.

From Alphas live stream on twitch, it sounds like a twin 70mm design is possible if there is enough demand. Demand is key and the community has to show it. In these forums specifically.
A twin 70mm with bifurcated ducts would be an enormous model but i believe very popular and doable. If designed correctly it would comfortably fly on a single 6S but would have room to run dual 6S when desired. Hopefully with a working bomb bay option as well.

(There's also the Tu-160 to compete...)
