All that lead shielding next to the reactor, perhaps?A lot depends on the way the wing is stabilised in pitch. If the rear section has reverse camber then the centre of lift can be surprisingly far forward, as the rear will spend quite a lot of time actually pushing downwards. This also leads to a large wing area, which is consistent with the model. Such a forward position would also help keep down the size of the tail fins needed for directional stability.Another possibility is that those "duck-head" bulges at the front provide significant lift and a degree of sideways drag reduction in yaw, kind of proto-chines.
