Your not going to believe what I just saw on the HobbyKing News link. By gosh some are listening to people like myself! It's unfortunately not Freewing or Flightline. : (

Not a big fan of HK of late. This is unfortunate.

You all have made some awesome suggestions but I'm sticking with the 70mm twin US NAVY version of the S-3 Viking. I just do not see how Freewing could go wrong with this one.
Lots of mass in the fuse for strength, lots of room for larger packs and scale landing gear.
If Civilian was the only option, I would still go with the DC-4. 4 engines would be awesome!1 Photo

I can understand not liking the look of the airframe, that's all personal preference. I will say, that I've gained infinitley more respect for the aircraft and the engineering behind it since since moving to the Ft. Worth area a few years ago. I've met a few of the test pilots, am good friends with a few engineers on the program, and have flown in the sim and seen the massive production line. At the least, I would love to see a new version of the 70mm, like what Freewing did with their 70mm F-16. Ditch the the thrust vectoring, and make the airframe much more scale! A few comparison photos are attached for comparisions sake. This airframe really needs the "Alpha treatment"!
That said, I think you are spot on for a Harrier. I don't think a VTOL version could be affordable, but a lightweight version with even partial thrust vectoring (maybe 45 deg) or so, would be pretty sweet! Especially if Freewing molded in the ducting for the puffer ducts, so it could be modded to full VTOL by ambitous individuals.

You can't get an appreciation for this plane unless you have road in one, stood next to one when it pulls into a ramp. It sounded very C-130ish, a display of massive power to weight. Sounded good, real good. This plane was not a piece of junk in my books, but a very powerful plane of it's type. If you left the 7.5 tons or useful payload out, there is no telling what you could do with this plane. I would think large loops would be easy, but that's just an opinion of mine.
As a model I'm certain it would pretty much do it all, I'm also certain it would fly good, real good as a matter of fact. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAC2NlbxQmw Better film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYcGWD9-WGQ. Yes some are still in service to this day.
