Hi everybody; here's my first completion of the year, but actually started back in June 2016. KIT: Airfix 1:72 BAe Harrier GR7A/9A ("new tool" type of kit) AIRFRAME: BAe Harrier GR9A, ZD433, as deployed in the Harrier detachment during "Operation Herrick", Afghanistan 2009 DECALS: from the kit; there's a little bit of silvering on a couple of them which really annoys me PAINTS: mainly Tamiya acrylics, with the addition of Model Master Metallizers for the exhaust hot and cold nozzles, and Lifecolor and Italeri Acrylics for detail painting Aftermarkets: - PAVLA cockpit set - PAVLA exhausts and intakes set - EDUARD PE cockpit zoom set (this one is actually for a AV8+, I only used a few items from it, like the HUD frame, rear view mirrors, canopy handles, canopy sills) Scratchbuilding: - Bottom Beacon light - AoA probe - Canopy detonation cord - Nose ARBS sensor and lens - Canopy boarding step - Bottom blade antennae - IP Coaming - Map holder - Engine breather vent, on the main intake starboard - Top vents, just aft of the cockpit - Main intake probes plus a few minor improvements to the ordnance, the LIDS fence etc Build thread: Edit: apologies! I totally forgot to thank everybody who followed my WIP thread, giving invaluable advice, knowledge and support throughout the whole build. I love BM! Thanks a lot, mates! Pictures (I tried using natural light - from a window - as much as possible, but I had to integrate with a LED lamp): A few details of the interiors: Any comments welcome. Ciao
