David Koktavý Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Hello all, I am here with my recently finished build. As a tribute to 30th anniversary of Falklands war, I have build this very nice plane The Airfix Harrier FRS.1 (Actually I am doing a brand new Argentinese A-4 Skyhawk from Airfix too). I think, there was said all about this kit. I build it straight OOB and used Xtradecals for camouflage of one of David´s Morgan used planes. Only a few comments: Considering its price, the kit is very good. Besides little inacuraccy which is described in another section of this forum, the only afwull issue is the engraving of the kit. I am really glad, that the new Skyhawk has the very better panel lines (the best which I have seen from Airfix). I also had to correct lenghts of both main undercarriage in order to have right pose and all the wheels in one plane. Also I have cut the bays for wings undercarriage. The Xtradecals I used for the first time with pretty good result. The only think which dissapointed me is, that I have to obtain underwings imatriculations for Har. Gr.3 which is not included in this set. In conclusion, I would like to give special thanks to Nick Greenall for his support and sources. P.S. Sorry for the photo quality, seems to be autoresized, but dont know where is mistake Edited October 15, 2012 by David Koktavý Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 She looks like she's just about ready to go off on another CAP. Nice one David. I see what you mean about the panel lines,hats off to the 'Fix for doing a nice new SHar 1 and 2,but they really did cock-up those panel lines.
