Twin Harrier -- should probably be French :-\
early, but well-documented, proposed two-seat version of the original P.1127.

You were saying...

Thanks for those.  I reckon they'll inform my build of an Argentinian Harrier.  I've got most of the bits and pieces collected together.  I am thinking, though, of basing out of the Malvinas and replacing the drop tanks with Martin Pescador missiles with a guidance pod on the centerline.

Does anyone know of a kit of the Skyhook trialed with the Harrier?

None that I know of.  The only airframe modification is the lifting lug in the center of the wing portion over the fuselage.  Somewhere around here, I've got a brochure on the Skyhook system.

Thanks - I was more interested in the articulated arm etc than the aircraft mods.  It would be interested to have something in both a 1/48 scale and also something like 1/350 with the latter to do a full ship build.
