discussion papa 695's 1/72 Harrier/s

[flyjoe180]

Just got an Email from Airfix informing me that the front glass part 116 is no longer available with it being an old kit 2010 and they can't get the part

So what the hell is this then Airfix? I'd be asking for a canopy from one of these! https://www.airfix.com/shop/aircraft/a04050-bae-harrier-gr7agr9a-172/

Three and a half months, at least you got it though Ian, which is better service than Barry got from Trumpeter. Looking forward to seeing it done now

Well I've got the canopy on, but it's not the best fitting one I've ever used View attachment 87576

Also been doing the ordinance this is the Airfix Sidewinder View attachment 87578


So I used the Sidewinder from an A7 Corsair sprue I've got in the spares box View attachment 87579


I think it as just a little bit more detail View attachment 87580
