discussion BAE harrier 1/72 (Airfix)

[Guest]

I thought i would try my hand at a little model so this was the first for a while lol,very easy to put together but it needed something to look at,well you lot know me,so i scratched a little engine together,the decals will be put on after the fat bloke with the white beard has been. ho ho hoooo, also can i point out that using an airbrush without the top on certainly is a messy job

Good progress Ole. Just doing the same Finished a long build 1/48 and wanted a relaxing 1/72 short build to restore equilibrium.

Cannot beat a Harrier. the WW11 threw up lots of interesting aircraft but post war I find very mostly uninteresting. But the Harrier is a very special type.

thnx u 2, Laurie you`re right there is a lot of aircraft to choose from,i have an A10 warthog and a f14 tomcat to start, polux i keep coming in to the forum and look around,the problem was my hands,i had no grip at all and phantom i was building got a bit broken so i just stopped lol,things have improved a lot not though just more physio and i will be up and running full time

 

[Guest]

Great progress, nice to see you plastic bashing again Ole, like the colours very much. Cheers Derek

lookin nice, yep gets messy without the lid on the airbrush cup !

 

[Guest]

That really brings it to life. Have you got any photos on how you went about scratch building the engine. Or can you post a brief description of materials and techniques.

I don't ask for much lol.

If you can't ill just enjoy looking at the build.

all the materials used were plasticard stretched sprue and a reference pic from the web,i made the engine kinda look like the real thing but its only 1/72 so i cheated slightly,didnt want to push my luck and slice myself lol.although it looks ok i`m still wishing i had done a little more to it as its open
