Not sure to be able to finish it on time but ...

I will use BPR roundel as already stated in former threads, but now I have to think in the Navy's flag. Any help?

Just to begin:

First steps of Camm Ca-7

That is actually a pretty darn good fit!!! Wouldn't think that would work so well! ... May have to try something like that someday myself

Also which aircraft did you use for the front?

Somehow, I don't know why, I consider those curved lines around tip tank as British Coolness.

This is looking interesting

Great Idea, seems like the best of two world.

This looks like an evolved version of the Yak-36:

Or was that the plan all along?

I have to admit that the boom can look very cool; but I think that I will not install it because I do not see its practicallity.

What a cool design!

Looks just "right"!

Thanks a lot!

Great project!

IIRC, the boom carried the forward reaction control jets, the idea being that if they were further away from the C of G, they would have more leverage for the same power. This mattered a great deal when engine power was marginal and they wanted to bleed as little air as possible for the RCS. The Harrier had a long enough fuselage and a powerful enough engine that it could get away with having the front nozzle under the nose.

Like the way you've blended the nose in to give it 'hamster cheeks', looking good Carlos!

I think, more or less, the same.

The Harrier is also helped with regard to the length from CG for puffer pipes in that it's a four-poster, as opposed to Freehand's two-poster lift engine.
