Now please go and do the Mk.2. I don't know why I never got round to it, but it really should be done and I think you're the man to do it!
I can understand about being informed, apologies there. Due to a rather busy work schedule and not having a lot of time to work on it then get it posted, I wasn't able to find the time to let you know, and, honestly I should have. Anyway, glad you approve, and I'll be working on the FA.2 this weekend, trying to find good reference pictures of the right side...

No worries! Like I said, it was only a tiny part of me!

Thinking about it, the reason I didn't ever do the Fa.2 might have been a lack of references...

Problem solved, :P

After much research, I found that the only thing that changed from the FRS1 to the FA2 was the nose and the engine, as well as some other avionics upgrades.

Without Further adieu, the BAe Sea Harrier FA.2:

Btw, Could someone please do the Sea Eagle ASM and the ALARM Anti Radiation Missile?

Great work on these additions, there have been some seriously cool stuff posted during the week.
My particular faves are the Harriers and the Bloodhound and the F-111.

I'd like to know your opinion about this one:

Italy, Caproni Campini N.1

(Pic moved on to another post beyond)

BTW, while searching for info about this one, i found that the wikipedia in English said that its length was 13,10m (289 pixels), but, the Italian wikipedia said that it was 12,10m (267 pixels), while German, Spanish and other wikipedias said that it was 13,10m, so, after checking that the source of the British one was a book, i opted to go for the 13,10m measure.
