Hawker P.1154

[+Heberth 159]

Hi guys! I was surfing in the internet and i've found this pic, which got my attention: http://www.whatifmod...?topic=26773.15

I didn't know this plane, then i made some research, and i must say that i fell in love with this project, starting the 3D work. It's just as sexy as any Harrier is, but now going supersonic!

Here is what i made so far (about 3 hours of modeling):

 

So, is there any interest on this aircraft?

You've got my attention, any chance you might consider the 1154 RN?

The original plan was for a single seat hunter replacement for the RAF and a two seat Sea Vixen replacement for the Navy*, rather unique in that it was to be capable of both STOVL carrier operations AND conventional carrier operations. Sadly the Harrier, as great as she is, is a mere shaddow of what this bird would have been. Much of what made it to the Kestral / Harrier program was originally intended / developed for the 1154.
