Edit no. ????? I've used this thread for so many things, it is currently (17/01/23) a thread for some of my WIPs I never made threads for. Before that... Who even knows, I can't remember anymore (Old content) Good morning ladies and gents of Britmodeller. I am officially halfway through my preliminary exams at school and the bucc is done so I thought I'd do a quick model to celebrate. I am also going to try to speedbuild it so I can finish it before my next prelim: next Thursday (February 3rd) Day 1 (26th Jan): Only one photo so far, you also get to see a sneak peek of my F-15E that is near completion, just a few bits and bobs left to do before decals. I will get better photos this afternoon, standby...

Hi all, I am about to start the Airfix 1/72 Harriers GR.1 and Gr.3. Both have this strenghening plate on the fuselage sides which I can't find on any pictures in my reference books - but then again, this area is almost always in dark shadows. Does anyone know if all Gr.1/3 Harriers had those or only certain aircraft. I am in doubt wether do leave them or to sand them off. picture see below.

The Nightmares will end in July 2013 - VMA-513 - Decommissions For those of you interested in USMC Harriers, you may or may not know that USMC unit VMA-513 "The Flying Nightmares" officially decommissions on Friday 12th July, 2013. They have already completed their last flights this week. The Nightmare were the first USMC unit to receive the Harrier in April 1971. The Harriers and pilots are being dispersed to other USMC units. Equally good news, the USMC are looking at certain upgrades to the Harriers to keep them flying until 2030 according to some recent press stories. Here's an oldish story now (Sept 12) about how/why the Italian Navy managed to retain their Harriers when we didn't. -
Hi guys, I'm looking to get some 1:24 modern jets to go with my 1:24 Sea Harrier....and I was wondering if any existed? (apart from the Gr.3). Cheers! JG
