A wonderful rendering of a super and much underrated aeroplane!
-
Doug - that is one nice looking Harrier. I have a Monogram GR1 to do (but don't know when !) and can learn from your build. I wold like to do mine as one of the few that had the overall camo scheme.
Cheers,
John

Thanks for all the replies whch are most gratefully received. If I knew how to put pix on the forum I might do, but to be honest this build may well take a year or more (and probably more!).

I have just received a copy of the Ad Hoc publication - Swift from the Cockpit. If any BMers have looked at this series they will know the genre - lots of info about the aircarft in question, pictures and anecdotes about the aircraft in operational service. After having a quick flip through the book I was so taken that I rushed out into my modelling shed and found the Falcon vacform of the FR5 and started cutting the bits out (never mind all the other semi finished models!) then I thought to myself that I must be daft to act so precipitously. However, I must say that despite the kit's age(I must have had it for 10 years or more) it is in extremely good nick (apart from the decals) and the kit is beautifully detailed.
What I wanted to know is whether any fellow BMers have done this kit of the Swift and whether they have any advice to impart on any issues they came across during construction.
Thanks,

I've bought stuff from Anigrand without any problem. VERY rapid delivery!

I agree that the Anigrand kits are pretty good.

CA did the Meteor T7, F8 with both large and small intakes, FR9 and NF11/13. And they are good, but a bit difficult to come by these days unfortunately.

Ali,
Thanks.I do understand your position and for what its worth I think you are doing a great job for us modellers. Roll on the Sea Vixen conversion ( no pressure!)
Cheers,

I have got this kit and wholoeheartedly concur with the review - it is VERY nice! I have also got the Aconcagua kit so it will be interesting to compare the two. Well done A2Z!

Oh that the Balliol/Sea Balliol wre in 1:48 scale! Any chance Ali??? Sea Vixen canopies sound interesting!

I'll drink to a CA Gannet AEW3!!!!

Mine arrived today. From a quick inspection it looks to be a great book with some super photos the mightyand much ubderrated F3 in action. There is one in particular of the F3 flying low and very fast at the Dawlish air show which to my mind sums it all up.

I've ordered the black one - the kit looks excellent!

Very nice build and finish. How did you do the dayglo?

I see that the Libyans are so terrified of the prospect of an RAF no fly zone that they have decalred a cease fire!
John

I agree that this listing is useful, but didn't RAF squadrons change their codes throughout the war? So those in place in 1939 might not be the same as those used in 1945?

The normal procession of aircraft into/from Gatwick - Airbuses of various sorts, B737, 747 and 757. Occasionally the police helicopter from Shoreham (I stay inside then) and an assortment of light aircraft/ helicopters to/from Shoreham. A glider or two from the local gliding school together with its tug and - very occasionally a wokka or lynx.

Airframe (aka Aviation Workshop) are doing an Augusta A109. According to their webiste it will be available in December.

Very nice firestarters

A nice build of a lovely aeroplane. But can I be pedantic please? I think that the bid 230 gallon drop tanks on the FGA9 had a sway brace fitted to them ( a strut) between the tank and wing) in addition to the normal pylon.
Sorry to be a pain the the a**e

Thanks,
