xffw45343tg Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 18 hours ago, Vitaliy said: I came across an interesting fact that mount heat shields on the US AV-8B and RAF GR7 are at a different angle. Vitaliy - I think you win this year's "Eagle Eyes" award; never even thought about this difference before - and I wonder if it results from the addition of the rear fuselage strengthening plates? You noticed the additional "trimmer" on the AV-8B rear nozzle I take it? I understand that these can result from static (as in tethered) thrust tests and can vary in profile a little from engine to engine, though are generally found in the Mk.107 (-408) engines - from which I'd deduce that your GR7 has the Mk.105. RAF aircraft cleaning looks more diligent as well... Never mind all that though. Let's have even more pictures of your progress. Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Excellent stuff! Are you going to put mesh behind the vents in the tail boom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaliy Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm glad to see you Kirk Yes mesh will stand and pipe too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Looking forward to that. It's a fairly complex structure - as I guess you know. There are diaphragms forward and aft of the reaction control valves and actuators that link up with the rudder and stabilator. I suspect your picture references are better than mine but shout if you are having any problems finding pictures and I'll see what I have.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 So consistently impressive Viitaly. I don't think I've ever seen this level of detail added to a 1:48 Harrier. I guess that (like me), people are struggling to come up with constructive criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaliy Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Made gaskets on the tank, added screws on the tail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerofix Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 If your painting skills are as good as (and I'm sure they are!) your building skills, this is going to be astonishingly good when finished. I can only admire your attention to detail and patience in producing such a brilliant model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
