Housesparrow Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I have the impression that the exhaust fan parts on all Harrier kit models are moulded shut. This doesn't seem realistic to me. I am wondering if perhaps if this kit, or any other after market kit has nozzles that aren't moulded shut.

I am wondering if perhaps if this kit, or any other after market kit has nozzles that aren't moulded shut. The nozzles are fine, not that you can see much given where they are! That'll be these three then - if available - and assuming I haven't missed any out! Aeromaster-AMD48540 Microscale-480248 Model Alliance-MA48153 (luckily I have these - yippee - until some rivet counter spoils my day and says the badge is 1mm too small or something and I'll never be able to sleep peacefully again due to worry) Xtradecal did a Falklands a War sheet for the FRS1 and GR3, though I think the kit sheet has just about cornered that market....

Tiger331 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Are they number plate decals at the bottom left of the sheet? Is a tug included in the kit? Edit: just re-read the whole thread. Not in kit - separate. Skunk and Kinetic have the same parents I presume. The Big H were recently offering a free RN Tow Tractor (minus decals) with the Kinetic 1:48 Sea Harrier FRS.1….not sure if they still have this offer on though ?

Antoine Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It was when the kit was released. Last time I'd have a look two weeks ago, this combo was OOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazinio Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I had the Tug included with my kit but I don't intend to use it so it's going on EBAY next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm not sure why these decal sheets have been issued given that the kit decal sheet has an excellent decal sheet which gives a large number of options for almost fifty aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
