Rich F Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Finally cleared this one off the work bench. Hasegawa's Harrier GR7/9 converted to a GR.5 using Amraam line detail set. Other details were; Aires Cockpit set / Wheel bays / Exhaust Nozzles / RFB flags Eduard GR.5 etch set Airwaves Undercarriage set Flightpaths CBLS and Sidewinders used as acquisition rounds AV-8B Canopy Det Cord from Flying Leathernecks Intake blanks by me! Paints were Xtracolor NATO green and Lichen green. Decals were Model Aliance and kit decals. Enjoy! Edited March 14, 2015 by Rich F 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich F Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks Guys, Looks great, nice to see in this scheme. The intake covers look very effective, can I ask how you did these? FF The intake covers were easy, firstly i used some blu-tak to get the basic profile of the intake shape, next I placed this on some plastic sheet and cut around it. Next i sanded it to fit into the intakes, once they fit I used milliput to represent the inflated look. Handles were then added from tamiya tape and finally a coat of paint to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That is an excellent Harrier build, especially as GR.5 builds are fairly rare. Stephen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
