NickThompson Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 BAe Harrier GR.7 No.1 Squadron - Royal Air Force - Bardufoss Air Station (Ex. Snow Falcon) 2004 1/48 Revell With the vast majority of recent RAF aircraft adorning not so attractive grey on grey schemes, non standard schemes tend to catch the eye. Whilst going through my Dad's images from the early 2000's there are a number of images of white winter camo Jaguar's, Tornados and a few Harriers. Cue a project that I am glad to say I am one model into, recreate a series of winter deployment camo aircraft! The first of which comes from Revell's rebox of the Hasegawa GR7/9 kit. Marked as a 1 Squadron aircraft from the final Harrier deployment to Bardufoss, Norway for Exercise Snow Falcon '04 the aircraft has been finished in the state a lot of my reference shots show during the deployment. Decals were provided by the Model Alliance "Harriers: The First Ten Years" 48-102 and the cockpit was replaced with the Aires GR7 cockpit, annoyingly the canopy fogged a little whilst trying to attach it and so the interior is somewhat obscured, but I am going to play it off as it's cold in Norway and the canopy has glazed over a little Onto the images; Thanks for looking and expect a WIP for the next RAF Winter camouflaged jet at some point, but I'm yet to decide on Jaguar, Tornado or Buccaneer!

Vingtor Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 My favorite GR.7 scheme - and very well done! Especially the lower side "dirt". I will do one myself one day, but probably not up to this standard. Nils 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd definitely be a challenge due to the very temporary whitewash thats applied over the original scheme, but I'd definitely consider it. Time to dig into my Dad's photo collection from Coltishall from the 90's and early 2000's for some reference material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
