And built by the SAME guy!  :o :thumbsup:
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! :)

ditto,  amazing.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

That reminds me that I have seen a Sea Harrier mutant in the basement which I could revive, too...

Very nice and elegant mash-up - what color is it painted? Medium Sea Grey? It looks pretty light?

Medium Sea grey can look quite light, I suppose it depends on the light and what your comparing it to as well.
Thinking about it I am fairly sure that some of the FAA Harriers were painted MSG at sometime.
(I expect a Harrier expert will be along shortly to confirm or deny that ;D)

Looking forward to the revival.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Lots of dust and needs repair. Totally wacky thing - got wings from a Saab 29 Tunnan (which fit perfectly!) and gull wings, a T-tail plus an afterburner rearward nozzle. Main landing gear unit has been moved to separate wheel struts in wing nacelles. Kind of supersonic Harrier evolution, but rather based on fantasy and what was at hand at the time of making than a "real" SVTOL project. Gotta see what I can save...  ;)
