1/72 Sea Harrier FRS.1

So after having stepped away while real life took its toll, I decided to return with a relatively (I hope) easy build for this GB. As such I present Esci's Sea Harrier FRS.1. It took a bit of effort to Hun one down that wasn't going for silly money but in the end I was happy to get my mauly mitts on one.

As you may be able to see, I decided to go with Sidewinders from the Airfix kit, purely because they have some detail on them, while the Esci ones are totally blank. I was also going to add a resin bang seat, but the one I had is too wide for the pit, so I stuck with the kit one instead. Progress so far shown below!

Welcome to the fun Charlie. Hope things in the real world have settled down for you and I'm looking forward to watching your progress on my all-time favourite aircraft.

Stalled before I've got very far! Turns out the canopy that came with the kit is actually from a GR5/7/9 series aircraft instead :/ Non to impressed as I'm sure you can imagine. Sorry but I won't be able to finish on time, maybe at all if I can't find a replacement!
