Warton and Dunsfold seem to have started talking to each other for once.  <_<

That's looking better and better Robert, any plans for colour scheme and squadron yet?
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! :)

Brad (scooterman) is sending me some No.3 Sqn Harrier decals and Tim (thedarkmaster) has sent some lo-vis Canberra decals for me to use.  The scheme I'm thinking of is a late Harrier style, but I think with a USMC variation.

I like your solution more.

I can not help thinking of modern FA2 Sea Harrier colours...

How the heck did you find that Greg ?  I think the idea of using all those lift engines is not very good at all, you'd have to haul around all that dead weight in normal flight.

I find this Meteor just as bizarre

Thanks everyone for all your kind words, I appreciate every one of them especially from those who are 'the' master builders around here.

Well the plans to get on with it over the holiday took a big wack, events conspired against me I'm afraid and not very much got done at all.

Sorry folks, my mind has wandered away from this project.  :blink:  I'll make an effort to get back into it and finish the job, there's not much left to do.
