Gorgeous RAAF Harrier.  Any chance of it being joined by a RNZAF Harrier and a RAN Sea Harrier?

Actually I've already done both of them. I did an RNZAF GR3 not too long ago:


And a while back I did a few RAN Sea Harriers or different vintages:

I'd do very dirty things in a dark room with those RAN Sea Harriers.

Just sayin'.

Very nice.  A Falklands War with Harrier against Harrier could have been interesting.

Indeed. I wonder how FRS.1 and GR.1 would compare manoeuvrability wise. I understand they both used the same powerplants, the airframes are almost the same. Obviously the FRS.1 has all the bells and whistles to deal with air to air combat

I think a lot would come down to pilot training and support systems/elements.

Armament would also have a big say in it.  The Brits had the latest Aim-9 sidewinder, the Lima "all-aspect", whereas the Argies at best would probably only have the Bravo, a tail chaser.  Would the GR.1 have the range from the mainland, or would they risk forward deploying them at Pt Stanley?  Obviously VTOL means they could be based anywhere, but they then become a prime target for Brits, especially the men in the sandy berets!

I'll echo everyone's comments with just how nice that Brazilian Shar looks. Maybe that's what I'll do with a Sea Harrier I have in the stash!

Thanks all! Here's another request, a Thai ASRAAM armed Harrier.

Nice work Chris. May I request a Korean Navy FRS.1? One hi-vis and one low?

Gorgeous job on that Thai Harrier.  It's purely coincidental that I've got a 1/48 set of decals for Thai Harriers on it's way to me.

Really nice!

Not too much into the Brazilian stuff usually, but that SHAR looks just great! And the three-tone camo is awesome, too.  Also diggin' the Argie harriers. Maybe Magic Is instead of 'winders?
