Ukrainian AV-8B Harrier.

[Wardukw]

Oh also some plans have changed ...I was going to use the Plus ll Harrier but I've decided to use the Monogram AV-8B instead.
I'm going to turn it into a Plus lll model..in British service it would be possibly be a GR10 model if that don't already exist.
I've been wanting to build that old Monogram kit for years so I am 
Very possible a few A4 Skyhawk bits will make their way into the build 😀

Nothing wrong with some Skyhawk additions! The old Monogram kit was not bad and if you're going to change it up anyway why use something expensive.
Some Harrier upgrades sounds cool.

Better be a GR11, the Mk 10 & 12 Harriers were the 2nd generation  trainers. For some reason they missed '11'.

How's a GR13 then ..nope it's a unlucky number ..then maybe GR14 ..since im upgrading the hell out of this thing .

That'd be twice as good as a GR7 then.

I believe that was to avoid confusion. The modern BAe Harrier was known as the Harrier II, and having a Harrier II T.11 would have muddled up many people / politicians.
It's bad enough reading about World War Eleven without having the worlds best VTOL aircraft in the mix.   

[Wardukw]

Well I've actually got this bird nearly built...it's a completely OTB built as this will be more a paint job than a wiffy build .
Armaments will be rocket pods and a couple of Sidewinders..but the missiles are just a thought for the mo..maybe something a bit more nasty is needed.

It's 0045hrs, everyone else in the house (the entire family, including my daughter, grandson, & daughter's partner, & their 2 dogs) are asleep & I'm trying to be very quiet ...

Then you, Fred, go & write that & I burst out laughing.        

[Wardukw]

Well its built ...the weapons load out is also built...we've got a couple of  CBU-87 cluster bombs and 6 x LAU-3 rocket pods .
For self defense a couple of AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles ...a nice clean simple load out .
If I get anytime tomorrow I'm gonna prime the thing and start making up the templates.
What will be annoying will be this Xmas thing ..family dinner and all that .
Still tho ..can't really complain..will be roast turkey 🍗 😋

The single-seater marks were all odd-numbered and the two-seaters even-numbered.

So a T.6 and a GR.11 are good whif possibilities.  'My' mark 11 would be a radar equipped GR.9 (equivalent to the AV-8B+), probably redesignated FGR.11, intended as a Sea Harrier replacement.

In the real world I'm pretty certain the GR.11 was seen as a further development of the GR.9 but have no evidence to support that assumption.  The T.6 was planned to be a T.4 with GR.5 avionics, but common sense held sway and the T.10 was purchased.

Well its black ..black primer ..will be the base for the camo ...I'll be modifying the colours a little bit cause those will be the colours I have 
Don't know if I mentioned em but the colours will be black..lightish gray and a darkish gray ..well a medium gray is what it will be if I can get the shade right .

[Wardukw]

Landing gear painted ....soon ...the masks
