Airfix 1/48 BAe Harrier GR3

[yak face]

Cheers guys I'm glad you like itI do sleep but I'm a bit of an insomniac

On the kit it's fine goes together well it's the detail that lets it down , to make a really good build on this though you would need a fare amount of skill in scratch building and quite a bit aftermarket stuff , cockpit, undercarriage, weapons pylons, rocket pods would all have to be replaced I'm afraid

I might get the tamiya sea harrier and buy the aftermarket nose for this it just seems much less hassle

Great job Alan , it looks fine to me. I think your oil highlights worked , the panel lines on the wings are nicely shaded. Word of warning regarding the Tamiya Sea Harrier - its a very old tooling and nowhere near what most people expect of Tamiya ,the detail is very basic ,you'd be better off with the Airfix version, cheers tony

Cheers tone yeah I've gone a bit mad on the old harrier this last week lol , if you do get the 1/24 be prepared for a long slog , ive got it and ive dry fitted the fuselage and it's not a great fit so have lots of filler and patience my friend this could be a bugger

Haha, i did have a feeling they're cheapish for a reason
