Desert Storm...1/48 McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II USMC


Recommended Posts

#11/2018

Another of my dad´s excursions to the modern world.
Hasegawa kit, not one of their best, some fit issues, steps and gaps.
Thanks to fellow Britmodeller Gundylunch for selling me the kit last year sadly the decals weren´t really usable anymore so they came from an Eagle Strike sheet. Decals for the canopy detonation cord are from a TwoBobs sheet. Seat is from Quickboost, Snakeeyes from a Hasegawa weapon set, the kit includes only drop tanks and Sidewinders. Camo done with Gunze H307 FS36320 and H337 FS35237.

Very nice build. I have heard the Hasegawa wasn't an easy kit to assemble, good job in achieving a great result.

Awesome looking Harrier. I just picked up 2 of the Monogram AV-8B's from my LHS on consignment (less than $20 for both!) and can't wait to get started on them. Hopefully mine cant turn out as nice as this.

Have one Monogram kit in the stash too, maybe build it someday as a second Desert Storm in the darker two tone camo
