Airfix does a decent GR1, GR3 and av-8a all from the base kits as used above. Not sure about sea harriers, I think all of then have issues.

shatters Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Why, oh why does airfix supply the pitot tube moulded to the nose ? Was still attached last Night, but can't find it anywhere now, fortunately the GR3 has the GR1 nose on the runner, but will leave it off now till the end.
