It is more likely to be one of the nine Kestrels that went to the USA after they were Tri-partied tested. Named XV-6A Kestrel or Kestrel FGA.1 (RAF). I've got models of both the P.1127 and the Kestrel and the latter is somewhat bigger than the P.1127 but not as big as a Harrier.

... another thought is wing mounted engines as per the Sud Aviation Vautour, YAK25/28...

Might be simpler to mount the engines side-by-side with two, bigger nozzles per side?

Might be simpler to mount the engines side-by-side with two, bigger nozzles per side?How about cross-shafting between engines so that thrust can be maintained, at least somewhat, in an engine-out condition? I rather suspect you'd need some electronics to synchronize the drive motors for the nozzles to make sure both engines vector identically.
I've emailed Adrian. Hope to get an update soon.

Hope to get an update soon.Please let him now that I'm interested in more than one, plsu more than one of the new Hunter items you showed on the Hunter thread. One thought, does anyone make a Fairey Fireflash for use on Hunter and Swit models?
Pavla Evan, and I think there's another company that does them too, thinking maybe AlleyCat
