Hi all this is my latest build having finished it at the weekend. It’s the Trumpeter GR.7 kit and modified to a GR.5 with an adjusted instrument panel and a new nose from Miliput. The camera pod casings are made from the kit weapons by cutting and extending them to the correct length of CBLS2000 which were the base for the camera pods. The cameras and mounts were scratch built using plasticard and 0.2mm lead wire. The engine face has a clear disk which I roughed up to give the impression of engine running, including all the blow in doors open. The strobe light are backed with that sticky foil as their base. This particular colour scheme is one of the first 3 Development Batch which was then additionally painted blue and white for rough ground trials at Boscombe. This meant that it got plastered in earth. So for the first time I’ve done this and watched a few videos on YouTube from the Armour modellers on how to mud up your kit. I sprayed away with light coats and then with dried out garden earth added to the paint and dabbed it on with a flat brush. The black & white squares on the nose are one decal but the larger item on the fin is 2 black & 2 white positioned together. If you look at the fin one checker is over the formation strip and the other side has the strip going through the checker. This actually on the real thing. The pilot is a PJ item and cut to fit. The camera gun pods had the 3 windows cut out and the protrusion muzzles as such were modified rocket heads that were reshaped. The camera position markings on the pylons are cut in half squares from Fantasy I think. MDC was done with a white pen after micromeshing away the seem line right down the centre of the canopy. My thanks to Nick from the Harrier SiG for all his help on this unique project. As usual my photography is not the best and it looks way better in the plastic as such. Thanks for looking. Steve.
