gengriz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 After a year when I have really struggled to find time for modelling, I have definitely been busy over the Christmas break! These are both based on the old ESCI model (still IMHO the best 1/72 Harriers), using both decal options from one box (one of these kits came as a dirty bag of bits without decals, but fortunately with all its parts!). First up, an AV-8A of the US Marines: And then a Matador - Toro, toro, see you tomorrow my son! When you can't decide what to build, build a Harrier, then build another for luck - Happy New Year all!

NG899 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Two nice AV8s there. More to follow? A simple tip to help all Harrier builders ensure all five wheels touch terra firma, or the modelling bench... > Fix the outriggers and nose wheel first, refer to photos for the nose-wheel compression and the outriggers' angles with the wing > Then, adjust the main u/c leg length to ensure 5 points of contact. QED / Simples. Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick, Definitely more Harriers to build - I've just counted and there are now 23 built ones in my collection, so why fight the habit of a lifetime - not sure how many unbuilt remain but quite a few. And yes,one day I will manage to get all the wheels touching ! FredT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Nice to see early Harriers out of the norm. Just got the Airfix one today with the intention on doing the Spanish version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
