Martin I`ve always assumed it was about 1/20-ish or thereabouts. The 1/24th Airfix Sea harriers look OK. The whole concept was decided by the the original builders who just had to make it fit a "Queen Mary" low loader. I`ve also got evidence that it had another identity before being converted to Invincible by RN recruiting bods. I wouldnt worry about the scale just make it what you can accomodate for storage and trailering. I wouldnt go above a ton in weight based on towing mine about. Use ballast tanks that can be drained at the end of the day`s sailing.
