1/48 GR.5 Harrier markings

[Scooby]

Were any ever produced? I’ve done multiple internet searches, mostly focusing on Model Alliance and Xtradecal sets, I can’t find anything.

 

I have the Hasegawa boxing of the GR. 5. I’m not a fan at all of Hasegawa decals.

 

If not, what are options for cobbling together Squadron markings, etc?

 

Thanks!

No sooner did I ask that and did I discover Sky Decals Harrier set.

 

I’ve never used Sky Decals, how do they respond?

The GR5 was operated by 1,3 and the 233 OCU(later 20 sqn).Sky decals did a sheet.

If the subject interests you, Vingtor made decals for the GR.5 that was used as the demonstrator for the Pegasus 11-61 engine:

The decals were printed by Boa Agency and they do good stuff.

Thank you, that demonstrator scheme is definitely interesting.

These are Sky Decals: https://jonbryon.com/hasegawa-1-48-vought-f4u-7-corsair/

 

I found them very nice to use. I exclusively use Mr Setter as the only decalling agent. My main issue was that they really cram the markings on the sheet and because of this they are not easy to cut out.
