VTOL BAE Viper/P.1216 type thing

Im not sure whether this is a VTOL Viper or attempting to copy the P.1216 concept, but here it is anyways.....

The base for this model is the airfix 1:72 angel interceptor, the nose is made from a grafted on harrier GR.3 fuel tank. The wings have been moved to the top of the fuselage and the tail fin has been cut off and turned into the horizontal control surfaces. The booms are made from the other ends of the harrier tanks and two pairs of large pipettes stuffed with milliput. Everything else has been grabbed from the spares box, including the mish mash of decals.

Looks great!

What kind of landing gear is it supposed to have? How will you display it?

Thanks guys, and I was thinking of having two large wheels in the centre of the fuselage and two stabilising wheels in the booms

Nicely done; it's a kit I wouldn't have thought of using as a base, but it works.

Cheers
