This could be a theme: Hawker's obstinate obsession with car doors. Next up: car-door Hunter... :wacko:

A car door 2 seat Harrier?   ;D  ;D

A car door Hunter T7 would need doors on BOTH sides too!  ;)
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! :)

Actual door spot was on the Right, where there has to be a breakout panel as well. Knew Harrier was mounted from that side as well, surprised to see Buccaneer was the same. But yes, a nice model with pictures saved again.

The Harrier could have the doors on opposdite sides, like an Islander.

You could do a retro Huntsman with an open cockpit for the chauffeur pilot and an enclosed one with car doors for the passengers. Don't forget the running boards... ;)

This has doors on both sides.  The LH side one is open because that is how Academy made the P39 I took the canopy from.

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 .
