goggsy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 This was supposed to be my entry for the Harrier GB but because of a last minute paint disaster it didn't make it. Finally finished it tonight, mostly OOB but with extensive scratch building in gear bays and to ejection seat. Cheers, Liam 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Well done on a fine looking Harrier and how many tubes of filler did you go through covering all of those rivets up? I`ve built four of these (3 x SHARS + 1 x GR.1) so can see how much hard work you`ve put in! I`m a bit puzzled as to why you`ve fitted 4 x SNEB pods and not fitted the inboard tanks as I`d have thought that tanks were a regular fit over the Falklands after the war, most Harriers from the mid 70`s onwards seem to have carried the tanks most of the time?I`m especiallypuzzled because you`ve gone to so much trouble elsewhere to make it look authentic. Take it or leave it,..just my two penneth on what is still a fantastic looking model and if you know something that I don`t about the SNEB`s then fair play,..and I hold my hand up,..., Cheers Tony Edited August 20, 2014 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 very nicely done - I made the original 1/24 Airfix harrier in 1980 and got myself into a real mess with it as it was out of my league at the time - it is great to see this model and your attention to finite detail is commendable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritag Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Nice finish Goggsy. Love the starboard rear 3/4 photo. Against a suitable backdrop it'd be almost indistinguishable from real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goggsy Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the positive feedback folks, it's felt like a bit of a marathon getting it something like finished. There are still one or two things to do and I may well put together some drop tanks for those inner pylon but I'm a bit harriered out at the moment. I went for the 4 sneb pods as my favourite gr3 picture is of one face on to the camera firing a salvo from all four, but I agree it's not reflective of the usual operation. As a kit it's not without challenges but I like the way it captures the meaty shoulders and raw power of the real plane. And yes, it is big! I'll stick some more detail shots up over the weekend.
