Airfix 1/48 Harrier GR3


Recommended Posts

Well this was a long time in the making and sadly the results don't show it. Lets call it a battle hardened veteran of the Falklands Campaign that lost it's drift indicator on its last sortie.

 

I thought I'd lost this model when I moved but it turned up the other week. I decided to carry on with it and it's been frustrating to say the least. Anyway depsite how it turned out, it can at least go down as a completed build.

Just finished reading 'Harrier Boys' and wondering if that was your inspiration?

I have just always had a fondness for the harrier. Fascinating aircraft. I've not read that book but I may well do in the future.

Sadly, I make some like that, too (way too many lately)! Looks good to me, though.

looks spot on to me. are you adding squadron markings?

My understanding was that they didn't have sqn markings in theatre. I may be wrong but I'm done touching it now as something else will go wrong if I do.

Nice too see another airfix gr 3 - nice build.  Kit does show is age but you have done it justice.

 

I did mine as an experiment in adding lighting to a kit

Cheers bud.

Nice build there. Lovely touch with the techies and GSE. Something tells there are more aircraft on that pan somewhere 😀
