GreenDragon Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Think I still have the Airfix one in the stash. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Ooooh, gotta like that one. I have their T.2 and T.4 kits, which look quite nice in the box. I expect this will be similar. Way to go Sword! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I hope that Sword can be persuaded to release this kit ( and indeed the Harrier T2/4) in 1/48 scale in much the same way as they did for the Lightning T4/5. Come on Sword - you know you can do it! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaw Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Bikkey - thanks. Yes I was aware that Kinetic have the Harrier T2/4/8 on the cards and will get one whenever it becomes available. I do hope that Sword will do a 1/48 version of the T10 though as it would save us all those conversion bits!

cvrle Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Ok, so I gotta ask - is there anything wrong with the Italeri TAV-8B? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ok, so I gotta ask - is there anything wrong with the Italeri TAV-8B? Cheers! Yes. It's been a while (like 20 years) since I built it, but it's based on their original AV-8B kit, with some shape issues, pretty crude details and lots of them incorrect. Biggest gaff is the slab sided canopy. Can't recall if it has properly sized LERX, they added correctly sized ones to one of their kits, but that might have been the NA version. The Airfix kit isn't too bad, but needs some updating and amending (Like all the ealry Airfix Harrier IIs it suffers because Heller spent so much of that years' tooling budget on the 1/48th Etendards).

Trenton guy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Vacuform canopy--really! I thought we left those behind long ago. Wonder if the T.2/T.4 canopies will fit or perhaps those from the Italeri two seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dick Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Canopy looks to be also lacking the very prominent Det Chord unless they provide a decal option?   Why Airfix overlooked Det Chord on the canopy of the GR1, 3, AV-8A and Sea Harrier is always a problem as the Eduard Zoom kits cost more than the ruddy Airfix kits in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Strongly reminiscent of the old Airfix T10, especially the wings and LERX Â http://nofineline.com/mcd-d-bae-harrier-ii-tav-8b-t10-airfix-172/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm pretty sure you're right : Sword probably can't do slide-molds so it isn't possible for them to do injected "omega canopies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sword's web site now shows that it also comes with injected canopies and also shows the decal sheet which includes det cords for them. Â Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
