AnonymousAA72 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey guys have anyone of you built a 1/48 Hasegawa Harrier GR Mk.7 [RAF]? If you built one can you tell me how its like? And if you have pictures of your finished harrier. I'll play!! The kits okay....but with problems...I think its a bit too over-engineered , to allow different variants to be modelled, with a few fit problems around the intake areas.

zeke Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) yeah...gotta agree with Bill there...I've just done the AV-8B version of it and the area around the nose and intake is a bit of a problem...but if you're willing to work at it the final result is a pretty good representation of a Harrier. Some other niggles are the poor canopy and the fact that it can't me opened properly and the usual Hasegawa skimpyness with the underwing stores!...damn them to Hades!...

Mentalguru Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Somewhere in a box I have the remnants of a Hasegawa AV-8B+ sweetheart piece of s***e Ive said before- ANYBODY who even gets that kit to the finished stage deserves a bloody medal Some enterprising souls could spend some time making NEW correctly proportioned and detailed intake cowlings, and a load of other stuff I cant quite remember now Anyhow- when it eventually comes out the box- Ill post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandwagon 106 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I really like the Harrier 2s that Hasegawa have given us. I've built 4 :- an AV-8B, AV-8BNA AV-8B+ and a GR.7, and really enjoyed them. Didn't have any problems that time, patience and a bit of filler didn't sort out Get one Nicholas, you won't be disappointed. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin101 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 My recently built example...... As already said, take care when assembling nose/fuselarge/LERX area's, do dry fit first! Seat needs modifying to. I lowered the nose u/c slightly as I think nose sits too high, but that depends on the load you fit. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I've done 2 GR.7s and a GR.5. The kit is a pain in the bottom around the intakes, but with a little patience (and a lot of dry-fitting) can be built up to look good. I wish I could work out how to open the canopy properly...
