I finished this last year. This was made using the Airfix Harrier and Bedford MK refueller, the Unimog is a repurposed Wiking model. The clutter was from various spares and railway extras. I decided not to do any camouflage netting so the scene am be viewed better.
Extras for the Harrier include resin seat, fin, decals and RBF pennants. I found a reference photo showing one of the techy’s jacket hanging from one of the pylons; I replicated this with painted tissue.
Enjoy.

Very, very well done indeed. That's a great scene very well put together.

Lots going on and yet not looking over cluttered.

Nice to see a Bedford too. My dad either for them for over 25 years until they went out of business.
