modelling minion Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 That looks excellent, she looks really good in those nice colourful Spanish markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Very nice indeed. The colour of the roundels against the starkness of the grey upper surface is quite a contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice work. I've always liked the Spanish scheme on a Harrier and you're capturing it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks a lot, all. It took a bit, but I finally got the stupid landing gear together. Don't know why, but the process seemed more tedious than normal, and things kept going wrong along the way. It doesn't look great, but it looks good enough. Still need to add a few doors, door decals and clean up the nose well, a touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looks fine. I know what you mean about the landing gear, I find it tricky to get all the wheels to sit uniformly. It can be a bit like shortening each leg on a chair to stop it rocking, but ending up with chair legs a couple of inches long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 So close! Almost there! Any advice on painting those bombs? Alsi, did Spanis AIM-9P missiles, from the period have black or white heads? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looking good, just a thought, I'm pretty sure Spanish Harriers would use US style Mk.82 bombs rather than UK ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Oh! Well thanks for the heads up. I think I have a few in other kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just checked a couple of references and they confirm the Spanish Harriers were fitted with standard USMC baseline avionics and weapons. Their primary role was air to air using AIM-9P (later -9L) and for the alternative close air support role they could carry standard or lo-drag 500lb and 1000lb US bombs on all four underwing stations or standard 2.5" or 5" Zuni rocket pods. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Fantastic work. She looks great in Spanish Navy markings, they certainly add a bit of colour. Well done. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks very much, all of you. I wish I hadn't of rushed this project so much. There are a few mistakes that are bothering me. But done is done. I do have another two projects lined up for the gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
