New Hobbyboss release for those of us who like large scale aircraft.

What with the FW190 and Dauntless in 1/18 large scale really is getting big...

I would love one myself but I think I will stay with 1/32.....

I sooo want one but what's the price

 

[papa 695]

It looks good, but It still lacks detail in the engine. But saying that if the price is right, I could be sorely tempted even at that scale, I've got all the others, and I also like some British markings for it.

Just had a look Hobbylink Japan have got them priced at £119.55

I like Harries lots, but the Av-8, well not for me really. I might try another 1:24 Airfix, yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.

I like Harries

Now I'm wondering what is a Harrie.

What ever it is Colin you like them lots.

 

[Dave W]

I beleive Merit sell a 1/18 Harrier already built and painted. Maybe this is the same Harrier in kit form

 

[colin m]

What ever it is Colin you like them lots.

Is it the plural of Harrier ?

 

[flyjoe180]

That would cost you an 's', much easier and cheaper to remove a letter

But Colin if you get the Hobbyboss 1/18 there will be NO filling of the rivets like on the Airfix, I still shudder at the thought of all those rivets.

If you search eBay, you'll shudder at the cost of the old Airfix kit !
