NG899 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Congratulations! Well done Vitaliy! Cheers Nick (Of course you could try converting an Airfix 1/24th scale Harrier GR3 to a GR9... I know someone who has done that and it's not me!) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG899 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) I spent a whole Christmas-time many years ago doing all the correction work for Trumpeter so they could change their AV8B to be a proper GR7. They ignored 95% of what I sent them; I was told because they said modellers would not know the differences. Sore point. I've never since and will never again buy a Trumpeter kit; those I had in store went in a SMW kit-swap. That said, Piero De Santis has done several excellent upgrades of the Trumpeter kit; many shown here on BM. I did look at what was needed with it and decided that it was actually easier to convert the big Airfix kit to a GR9; as done by Phil Cater and Dave Haggas back in the 1980s/90s; especially as 1/32nd isn't my scale. My conversion of the old GR1A to an FRS1 in the mid-80s, way before Airfix released their SHAR kit, inspired Phil (the then Harrier SIG Leader) to convert a GR1A to a GR7; or so he told me many times. Having done that he converted the GR7 to a T10; because he'd got board with the GR7! The T10 still exists but needs a very major service. Kirk, sorry, not interested in Mini cars; they cannot do what a Harrier can. And that idea of a project has as much commonality as converting a GR3 to F35B...!
