Looks terrific!

Wouldn't it be nice to have an 'Atlantic Conveyor' for it to launch from on the 20th May? Oh that I knew enough to make one in FS <sigh>

Even nicer to have an "Invincible"! Well, at least we do have HMS Hermes. :smile:

I may have missed an earlier reply to this question, but where can I get that Hermes file please? And what is the filename?

Very nearly a GR indeed, one area that needs a look-see,
at the rear of the canopy frame, the cut-outs for the intake by-pass ducts should be square, it seems like its' still using the Sea Harrier profile.

I'll try and 'doctor' one of yer screenies to show you.

IIRC all the unique identification numbers like 'buzz' numbers and squadron codes/badges etc. were painted over once the task force got 'in theatre', except for the aircraft serial number.

(I've worked on both variants and the T-birds)

Ps for Kit, the Hermes is an old Alphasim model 'doctored' by Dave Garwood, you should find it at the usual download sites.
