How about SNEB missile pod triplets on the outer pylons? Or a pair of Martel ASMs?

Great idea Dizzy, but as this is a Recce bird, I'm thinking the weapons should be more defensive to enable it to shoot and scoot

The Red Tops look amazingly incongruous under that Vigis's shape, but pretty good nonetheless.

Nice. Black suits the aircraft well!

The Airfix Vigilante was my second whiff.....RAF colours but European theatre. Looks like a good build.
