I designed this around a BT-20, but BT-5 on a 1/2A might fly better. I just didn't have a BT-5 handy to work with.

And I figured, if a Cubit can fly this should too! That is why I designed the rear tower as a triangle shaped fin instead of being more accurate to the model. And, it only has one deck level instead of 3 or 4.

One deck level, on top and bottom, adds strength and detail without making it look like a brick.

I'll put up my prototype files and maybe someone can come up with an idea or two!

There is a gray line on the body where a BT-20 should end. I glued the rear (engine) piece on and ran a tube to have something solid to hold while building. I couldn't come up with a good way to make a cone, so I'm going with rear ejection and tumble recovery for now.

P.S. There are some places that may not have tabs yet. You may have to add your own! The sides of the deck were to small for natural tabs. I cut little strips to add.
