The kit is not as good as the 1st  Airfix one which has syncronized jet nozzles....but the cover art is the business  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup: ( A Harrier in a West German Forest  :thumbsup: )

IIRC that box art was taken from a page in the RAF Yearbook back then, and their pic was even larger!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Some parts around Gütersloh and Sennelager look similar  :thumbsup:

Both the RAF's No. 3 and No. 4 Sqdns were based at Gütersloh when they flew Harrier GR1s and 3s, so that's quite likely.
