My error; yes, I was referring to the Martin Pescador.  it takes a bit of googling to find info since that's also the name of a bird, but the dimensions are out there.  From what I've found, I think I can model it using a Shrike body with new fins.  You can find pictures, but I've not found many.

There's some technical information about that ASM in Wikipedia; the Designation is Martin Pescador MP-1000
here is the link

My thinking was that an Argentinian Matador based in the Malvinas would use a camo pattern similar to the A-4s and MB339s stationed there (the FCM special set is a great help here - I can scan and send the pertinent parts if needed).  I've already described the stores fitment I propose.

The Indian GR.3 is great - it is one of those things that you may even pass of as real at a chance. 
I agree- the more I look at it, the more it seems to make sense. I'd bet Scooterman's left nut that if someone built that for a show and entered it, most of the judges wouldn't pick it out as a whiff.

That'd help a good deal with markings and such. If you could email those bits to me that'd be great.

For now, here's the first GR.1, hot off the press. Spanish air force:

Damn, that's gorgeous.  How about a GR.3S+ with the LID'd cannon pods et al. of the AV-8C?  Oh, if you decide to do a blank for the AV-8C, the recce camera in the nose gets removed and the window replaced by sheet metal and there are some small RHAW receivers on the wing leading edge near the wingtips as well as, ISTR, some added chaff/flare dispensers; I'll have to see what good references I have there.

Don't forget the big dorsal antenna they fitted.  The Squadron/Signal book is quite good at pointing out salient features.

...I will also make sure TSRJoe has access to the darkroom to be alone with this one as I am sure he will want to. ;)

Very nice, indeed.  I can just see one like that fitted out with Soviet weaponry instead of Western weaponry (Atolls instead of Sidewinders and Soviet rocket pods on the inner hardpoints where a RAF Harrier would have MATRA pods).

^ Yeah, it is!  I knew it'd look great, but I didn't expect it to look THAT great!

The more I look at it, the more I like that Finnish one as well. It just makes perfect sense!

And the Finnish Harrier, too.
Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

It's been a little while since I last posted, a certain MW3 has proven to be quite distracting! Anyway, here's something quick for Australia Day. I'll try and get back to some requests soon.
