Rodders154 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am just about to start this kit as well but I will be doing it as a long term project will be interested in the resin cockpit as well as the revised intakes. My decals are out of register does anyone know of any decals for "fancy" harriers in 1/24 scale Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I've got this kit in the stash as well. I also have the DJ Parkins set, Heritage intakes and Heritage airbrake bay. From what I see, combining the Heritage cockpit tub and sidewalls with the DJ Parkins panel and seat will be the way to go. I plan to buy the Heritage cockpit when funds permit so that I can do just that. I am also considering the Heritage landing gear set. Looking forward to seeing you progress with this. Cheers, Tom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are pretty good for customer service. Cheers, Tom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I will watch this one. I would at first thought hade build the SHAR, but someone wanted me to build the 1/72 GR.3 Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Where do you cut the nose? Take a close look and you will spy a double row of rivets. Sadly these don't line up on both sides of the fuselage so I'd suggest cutting further forward then sanding back. I know you said OOB spike, but if you come to your senses then now is the time to cut out the camera aperture and replace it with a little bit of acetate. There are big supplies of this part way down the slippery slope... Cheers, Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goggsy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wahay, someone else building this! I'll be interested to see how you progress. I was thinking about the big AM set that Hannants sell but I'm too much of a tight bottom to fork out the £65... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
