But, as can be seen in ![this picture](http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/AdditionalImages/6912-1/6912_alt2.jpg), the _Super Soarer has exhausts on its tail, which the Harrier decidedly doesn't. I've added a picture showing this to the question.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-02-25)
  
  The set [6912](https://brickset.com/sets/6912-1/Super-Soarer), *Super Soarer*, features a yellow jet plane. My first thoughts were towards the [Harrier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrier_Jump_Jet), but it has exhausts on the tail, which the Harrier doesn't have.
  
  On what plane, if any, is it based?

  I would go for another British aircraft: [Sepecat Jaguar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPECAT_Jaguar)
  
  It's twin-engine also.

  The intakes, wing shapes and overall proportions look like a [Harrier Jump Jet](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrier_Jump_Jet), but the model doesn't have the landing gear or under-wing armaments.
