DaveJL Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Here is my first entry for this GB; Hasegawa 1/48 Harrier GR.7, marked as ZG479 '69' during Operation Telic in 2003. The kit: Decals: Aftermarket: Reference material: In terms of aftermarket I have the MA decal sheets, resin FOD inserts, Orion self adhesive canopy det cord, AMRAAM line extended refuelling probe, TIALD and Paveway ll's, Wolfpack TIALD pylon and BL775's from an Airfix Jaguar. I also plan to add a Pavla cockpit, Aires exhaust nozzles and a 100% LERX, either from TwoMikes or A2Zee. Might also pop in a etched boarding ladder too! Build 2 and maybe a 3rd will be up soon.

SaintsPhil Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Good choice Dave, have you built one of theses before? There's a bit of a trick to getting the front end onto the rear with a good match for the intakes. It was in Airfix model world a while back, I can dig the article out if you want?

I did Phil, a Revell GR-9 boxing and had a nightmare with the wing/lerx/fuselage connection! That article could be handy if you don't mind...
