Spitfire
Those stubby wings on top of the cockpit are called "canalisers". They are meant to smooth the airflow on to the fin and rudder making it more sensitive and defined. Used in F3A aerobatic models to improve knife edge controls. Start increasing the size of that, and you probably have a bipe again!
