Harrier always seemed to me to be one the more difficult models to kitbash into something looking kinda legit.
Goog job  :)  this one looks right.  Is darker blue on wing top ans center fuselage from RW ?

It never ceases to amaze me how one modification can completely change the entire look of an aircraft!

That wickedly unique tail is perfectly complimented by the paint scheme and markings.

You've got some enviable talent!

Nicely done!  :)

There was a real proposal to V-tail the Harrier or AV-16 if I remember correctly.

I very much like and appreciate the wing-tip pylons! Also would your twin tail fin arrangement mean a lower over-all height? If so this could equate to a lower hanger ceiling requirement on a smaller harrier carrier = a smaller and cheaper aircraft carrier
