Hi all. even though I have plenty of Harriers on the stash and just finished a 48th GR3. I happened upon the Revell 1/32 Harrier GR1.
and I could not resist as this seems a great size for the Harrier.
I wondered if there has ever been any aftermarket parts or decals made for this. Or if anyone has any tips for the build.
I can see she represents the Early Harrier GR1 with Kestrel style fairings on the front thrusters and Kestrel style intakes.
I recently discovered this type referred to as P1127 (RAF) which was apparently an early version of the GR1 which was more similar to the Kestrel is this true ?
I noticed this recently on the Harrier XV278 which I looked at and thought , Hmm looks odd somehow then noticed there are a lot of differences to the normal GR1 especially around the intakes and forward thruster fairings.

So what is this, Is it a normal GR1 , Don't look like it to me, Looks more like a Kestrel in the nose area. I'm not sure. The cockpit frame looks more slight too.
Info on the Kit and this type of Harrier very much welcome
Cheers Rob
