Michaelvk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, here she is.. Last thing before running out the door to catch a flight to the frozen tundra that is Europe.. First few pics are sans pitot, but then i found it on the carpet an hour or two ago.. Probably not the best shaped SHAR out there, but not terrible to build.. Forgot how small these buggers were.. I'm fairly certain the outrigger legs are at the wrong angle too.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Very nice indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabio Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 See what you mean about the outriggers- I thought they were more square to the ground than square to the wing although I can't seem to find a good enough pic to confirm! But a great job, it looks really good with such a nice paint job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelvk Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks chaps.. I might have a brave moment and persuade the outriggers somewhat more vertical.. But as it's in Cape Town and I'm on my way to Cymru, I'll probably just build another instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnylurve Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 When done right, Brit Harriers always look really purposeful. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelvk Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks chaps. It's always a bit scary to display something like a Sea Harrier when there are members here who can say: "Oh yes, I remember that specific aircraft.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelvk Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks lads.. Very nice build. I did not realize the tailplanes deflected that much. Thanks for posting pics. Harold I doubt they do, but typically the glue had set before I could do anything about them without destroying them.. I'll do it properly next time..
