Antony Robertson Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Looks great!! I've got one of these in the stash to do, and having recently finished the Revell GR.7 i found the little Harriers quite addictive. 1/48 scale one looks great too, keep up the good work!

Paul - Brazil Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi! Nice job! I'd never built any model 1/144. But while I was watching your thread, some ideas come to my mind. Congratulations for the little one! Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnC Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Thanks for all your kind comments As I said I would comment on the kit, here's some comments : - there are some accuracy issues that Dave has pointed out: - something doesn't quite look right to me about the proportions - the canopy is blatantly wrong, and the plastic is so thick that the seat cannot be positioned correctly - the jet nozzles all look the same, where the front ones should be different to the back ones - the bit that sticks out of the back of the tail (don't know what it's officially called) is a bit too big - there are no retractor struts on the outrigger undercarriage legs - there was a fair bit of flash on the parts, and moulding seams (this maybe due to the age of the kit?) - the transfers could have been better; they kept breaking and they didn't stick too well (needed some Klear) and some of the sizing was a bit suspect, for example the serials were too large, while the roundels were too small and they didn't include the red bits that we added on the top of the fuselage - the parts fitted well once the flash had been taken off Overall it was a good build. The frustrating bits were in the painting! Maybe it just needs to air-brushed, to get rid of having to do touch-ups every time you try to paint something ?
