An Almost-Was plane: The BAe P.1216 ASTOVL supersonic fighter from the eighties.

Two versions depicted: The RN version with foldable wings, the RAF version without. Each version was 55.88 feet long. The RN version with it's wings folded could have used the elevators onboard the Invincible Class. In order to reduce hangar signature even more the all-moving tail planes could easily be removed.
Because the small carriers had limited space for disposable drop tanks, the P.1216 could use a weapons module which held 300 gallons of avgas. Two AMRAAM or two Sea Eagle missiles could be carried conformally on each such a module.
The standard module could hold two AMRAAM or four iron bombs or cluster bombs, or two laser guided bombs. The wing hardpoint could hold an AMRAAM, a bomb, or a 270 gallon drop tank. The outer hardpoint was reserved for a Sidewinder or ASRAAM.
A 25 mm Aden cannon with 150 rounds was mounted underneath/in the port LERX, in front of the port engine nozzle. Considering the troubles this weapon encountered in real life, this would IRL probably be either: No weapon, or: A 27 mm Mauser BK-27 revolver cannon.

I haven't done any safety markings, nor shading or Squadron markings. The safety markings would be speculation at best, and I'm not familiar enough with British squadron markings from the nineties and later. So, if anyone feels a burning need to paint these beasties...

Update; the BAe P.1216 ASTOVL, now with rear view. Just look at that behind!

(Edit: Also added 2-seat training model)
(Re-edit: changed turbine fan color, minor change to fuselage shape in front/back view, and added a "scab-on" FLIR option.)

Some upgrade programmes have found their way to the MiG-31 fleet, for example the MiG-31BM multirole version which includes upgraded avionics. In the cockpit this upgrade provides capabilities of using of new weapons, a new multimode radar, HOTAS controls and liquid-crystal (LCD) colour multi-function displays (MFDs). Only a small part of the fleet, however, has been upgraded to this standard

I hope this hasn't been done before but the old version really needed an update:

Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel
