Falklands Harrier Gr.3. 1/72 Airfix.


Recommended Posts

Brilliant model of a fantastic subject! You've got the colour absolutely spot on too in my opinion, outstanding build.

 

I did notice in the last photo it looks like one of your yellow lines decals has migrated to join its friend under the left intake!

The 1/72 Airfix Harrier is a beautiful little kit, and I hope they follow it up soon with a 1.48 version. 

 

You've definitely done it justice.

 

A couple of minor points though. If this is a Falklands war Harrier, as far as I know, they carried RN 2" rocket pods rather than RAF SNEBs, and I believe the tail number would have been painted out too.

Yes but unfortunately fitted with  155 SNEB pods  when the RAF only used  36 shot 2" rocket pods in the Falklands war !

 

Sorry Habu just couldn't resist it!  as you have fallen into my clutches yet again as before I worked on Skyflash maintenance   I worked on the flightline on Harrier GR3 for four years!

 

Apart from this piddly little comment  Can I just say that is quite simply one of the best looking  GR3 builds I have seen for a long while. And I will give you kudos as I must point out your rocket pods ARE the right colour for 155 SNEB at that time!
