Let's see what kind of discussion this stirs up: Where do you all think the Sea Harrier fits, gen. 3 or gen. 4?

Michael

In a nutshell,
FRS1 Gen 3
FA2 Gen 4

Similar clarification for USMC Harriers. I have Airfix's AV-8A kit...sounds like the 8A/C would be third gen, but 8B would be fourth gen? If so, count me in

The Sea Harrier FRS-1 only just sneaks in as a Gen 3, as it was developed at the same time as the GR-1s entered service in 1969.
Yep AV-8A definitely Gen 3, as the AV-8A and TAV-8A were delivered between 1971 and 76, and were very similar to the GR-1 (which was officially named the GR-1 in 1966).
You could also model a Spanish Navy, and Thai Navy Matadors.

Now for a bonus question, what was the names considered for the Harrier (before it was named the Harrier obviously lol)?

Hi everyone!

I've just enlisted.

I'm thinking of a Saab 37 Viggen with a splinter camo. It has always been in may top 3 but I have never tried.

Has anyone tried the Tarangus/Special Hobby model in 1/48?

Looking forward to the campaign!

Hi just a quick question. You list Aeritalia's F-104S Starfighter is Lockheed's bog standard F-104 acceptable?
