Hockeyboy76 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello again my modelling friends, Here is my Harrier GR7. All brush painted using Humbrol enamels & weathered using Tamiya weathering packs. Still one or two things im not happy with but each model is a chance to learn! Thanks for looking, comments welcomed Hockeyboy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Great weathering achieved here, sibtle, on the underside. I'm with you - each model is a chance to learn, and I'm going for a few oil streaks on my current build for the first time - feel quite nervous about it. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticbasher Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Nice- building this in 1/72 from the Airfix kit- you have a great result there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Really nice build and finish, would benefit with the canopy rail between the windscreen and the actual canopy being painted, but apart from that it's spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 An awesome model, absolutely love it, top work. The weathering is superb, really think you've captured the harrier perfectly. Next time, give painting the canopy a go, it'll make a huge difference. If you make a mistake, a cocktail stick can normally be used to knock dried paint off the areas you don't want. A brilliant model, I truly love the Harrier Just realised that it's 1/144, i thought it was the Airfix 1/72 kit! I wouldn't have attempted painting a canopy that small either! Fantastic model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm building a 1/72 GR3 at the moment and based on that your GR7 must be pretty tiny in 1/144! Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the views & comments. I do usually paint the canopy. I did make her a couple of years ago. ( not a good excuse I know!) Such a shame we don't fly them anymore. Was on Cottesmore just before it closed & saw so many harriers with wings off getting loaded into ISO containers by the Americans.

jer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 That's a lovely build of a GR7 especially at 1/44! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Nice job Hockeyboy, very, very nice indeed! I've just bought one of these, how well did it go together? Any issues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Went together very well. Only issue I would say is the wing undercarriage doors. If you want them down u need to cut the doors in half which can be a bit tricky & also to large in scale. Would definitely use some thinner plasticard next time I make one.

PlaStix Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That is very nice!!! Especially in 1/144. As I mentioned in your other thread you get a really good finish, especially for a brush painter like myself, on such a small model. Well done. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
