What if Handley Page turned the HP 115 concept in a fighter?

And why not?
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! :)

Update on the HP Harpune project currently on the table.

All PSR-ing is done and all big parts are assembled. kinda like the style of this thing, small but sweet.

Next step is spray filler and PSR-ing. Upcoming question is the color scheme: raspberry-ripple, RAF service livery in green and grey or......?

Very cool and with a healthy dose of Thunderbirds mixed in for good measure  :thumbsup:  ;D
I would offer a opinion on the paint but honestly i have no idea what colours i would paint this beast in.
Ive got a similar idea for my B58 but its completely different to this but the same issues..paint .
Maybe multi tone sliver ?
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Sexy.  :thumbsup:

I am just not certain about the short fuselage under the delta wing - it looks a bit odd?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
