You know where to send it's weapons, lol

OK, I will send these parts, no problem.

Now building the Arrière is finished (last sanding then gluing the remaining parts). Obviously, this is not the 501st "normal" Harrier but a very special one... $:-\$

I am painting the underside (this is not very necessary, the paint is only needed to hide the putty above, but I make it unicolor):

Now painting the side above, putty and plastic unified into a single color:

Looking good, mon ami!

I'm a huge fan of the Harrier, and you've made something completely unique.

I like it - even without the side jets.

Nice work and unique imagination as always!
Reminds me of the "XF-85 Goblin" fighter that hung beneath the B-36 bomber.

Thanks!

This huge modification of the Harrier could have been named Harrier 2 but this name has already been used for the AV-8B with tiny differences from the first Harrier, alas... $:-\$

Just call it the "Harrier 1/2" ...

Good word!

After checking archives, I confirm there was a "true" low-wing Harrier:
