Evening all Like many of you I bought many Hasegawa kits in the 80's and 90's many of them are still in my stash. This morning I went to the loft looking for a Sea Harrier over the years I have collected a few, three of them have colour full 899 NAS markings as a separate sheet in with the standard kit decals. Upon opening the boxes all three of the standard decal sheets have cracked and crumbled but the new 899 sqn seem fine. Have any of you come across this before, any ideas why this has happened. Regards Glenn.

Thank you for the replies, sorry about the angles, these were taken on my phone and I wanted to get as much of the subject in the shot as I could. regards Glenn

Just came away from MOD St Athan, it was quick but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I watched my first one fly into the then RAF St Athan nearly 40 years ago when I was a young spacey. Probably fair to say the tax payer got their money's worth from those old girls. regards Glenn

This is Hasegwa's B model using Hataka paint covered in Vallejo semi matt varnish. The paint is quits sparkly but toned down nicely under the varnish. This paint does look very different under certain light. The stencil decals came from the box but don't really look quite the right colour on the paint. The roundels came from Xtra decal but compared to pictures are to big.

i know this is not much help, but this is the f-2 with the mr colour paint. regards glenn.

Love this little kit, you have done a nice job. Now we need a Harrier gr3 and a hide diorama. Regards Glenn.
