discussion Steve's Tamiya 1/48 Sea Harrier FRS1

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Well the winter period is not the best time for me to be building in my cold damp man shed but I will have a go. This is my offering for this Tamiya GB. The online reviews for this kit are that its a bit of a dog. This is one quote from a member of Brit Modeler "Personally, I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole - brick-line vortex generators, poor intake shapes, inaccurate wheels and lots more issues". And just for a laugh its got raised panel lines.
Anyway Ill see what I can do with it. Here are the obligatory box and spru shots.







Thanks for following

Nice one Steve, I built this kit some years back, the build wasn’t that bad to be honest, filler will be needed. I think most of the problems are like you said the inaccuracies in the kit.

Got one of these in the stash so will look forward to seeing one go together

I've read the reviews in the past..... Always took them with a pinch of salt
