goon Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi All, Some pics of my Sea Harrier. Really pleased with this one, despite a couple of inaccuracies I couldn't correct as it was too late. I also dropped the model, breaking the windshield off. I managed to get it back on without it being too obvious. Despite my best intentions the wheels don't quite touch correctly (turns out my cutting mat is not perfectly flat!) which I will correct in due course. I need to reinstate the paint on the bottom of these where I've sanded the 'flats' to neaten the 'sit' up. I've at least two more to build, plus the GR.3s when they are (hopefully) released. This shows the aircraft 'Sharkey' Ward was flying when he downed Carlos Tomba's Pucara. (I built Aconcagua's resin kit of this aircraft a while ago, and soon I will build the Dagger this SHAR also destroyed. Can you spot a theme?!) Finished overall in Xtracolour EDSG with black / white / grey pre-shade, and a 'homebrew' of Flory Models washes for the panel lines. To the Kinetic plastic I added Eduard photo etch, a master pitot and AOA sensor, Eduard AIM-9Ls, and Armory's wheels (necessitating making 'forks' for the outriggers. (I learnt a couple of new swear words that afternoon, which became useful when I realised I'd put one in the very large bin under my bench.) Thanks for looking in, Gareth 41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
