roym Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Looks real. Looks really real. Looks REALLY REALLY real. Except the stencils seem to be decals, and the paint has brush strokes. I emailed the publishers but waiting on a response. Anyone here know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hmm, now you come to mention it... Just assumed it was a model but the closer I look the more I think it's the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswoofie Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'd have a look, but I can't find my copy in my acres of crap!! I really must do some tidying in my modelling/computer/mess room... I'll keep looking... Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-fever Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice photo yes, and it is a REAL harrier. It would have been nice to see a kit built to look that good. If it was a kit, they would have featured inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It's a model!!! Sorry to dig up this thread from so long ago but just found the answer in the new Modellers Datafile on the SHAR. It's the Airfix 24th scale built by Nick Greenhall to a standard that is both inspiring and depressing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B (Sc) Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Strewth, that's impressive. As you say Col, also depressing - it's just way out of sight ! Query on MAM, anyone. What was on the cover, and /or inside Model Aircraft Monthly for June 2007 please? I can't find it in my pile of magazines. Am now asking myself if I missed it, or have just misplaced. Aargh - senility....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so because it's a conversion from the GR1 kit, built (originally) in 1985ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks DSWoofie. Definitely haven't got it. I must have missed it in the shops - blast. Try ordering back issues from their website. I did this a while back and the mags I ordered came by return of post. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAA72 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 WTF? Nick Greenall's SHAR Click on the Harrier, click on Gallery and then Gallery 1:24th. You'll see links on that page. If you get the latest SAM publication Modellers Datafile (No 11) theres a more in depth article relating to this superb model..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 It's a model!!!Sorry to dig up this thread from so long ago but just found the answer in the new Modellers Datafile on the SHAR. It's the Airfix 24th scale built by Nick Greenhall to a standard that is both inspiring and depressing at the same time. I can testify to that having seen it up close several times. Nick performs pure magic on Airfix kits. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 You mean this one....? Brush strokes? Where? That's the one! Stunning model. The brush strokes are on the roundels where the white section was over-painted on the cruise down. Just one of countless little touches that lift this model toward the heights of perfection.

gunpowder17 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Im stunned. I bought that mag when it came out and i thought that was a real Sea harrier. To find out it was a conversion and not the Airfix one is mind blowing. You guys are right its inspiring and depressing at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
