Airfix Harrier GR.9

[Rheged]

I'd also considered using Penguins, for a bit of variety.

Are we talking about missiles, paperback books, biscuits, antarctic wildlife or even Tactical Nuclear Penguins  (see below)

You could carry Foxes or a Vixen?

[Go4fun]

Tactical Nuclear Pequin reminds me of the Batman movie with the Penquin and Catwoman.

Whatever will fit on the hard points.

[Captain Canada]

Any modern bomb/ missile would look good on the GR.9

Ok, I've ordered the Airfix kit and a resin FA.2 radome. Main payload still to be decided. Harpoons, Kormorans, Penguins, Sea Eagles...

[kerick]

Mount some above the wing like the Jag and put them all on!!

[TheSybarite]

I'm afraid I've always found over-wing mounts a bit ugly. Just need to sort the decals now.

[Captain Canada]

Going to look awesome with an FA.2 nose....I was thinking of doing the same thing !

[Gondor]

I did a similar thing a few years ago which I called a Sea Harrier F/A 3



Poor picture quality I know.

I used the end of a 1/48 SUU-23 gun pod for the nose as the diameter was better than the F/A 2 nose.

The Airfix kit and the new nose have arrived. It's so tiny! It's years and years since I last made a Harrier - a very crude Matchbox GR.3, if I recall - and I'd quite forgotten.

[Captain Canada]

Airfix is coming out with a new GR.3 if you want to relive the dream 

Great F/A 3 Gondor...looks about right eh !

[TheSybarite]

Am now bidding on a cheapy Italeri Tornado MRCA on eBay which might give me some Kormorans.

[TheSybarite]

Or might not, but I'm the only bidder and it closes tomorrow. Oh well. Beginnings of a stash, I suppose.

[Captain Canada]

Now u can build a Tornado too !
