chameleon2009 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi Guys This is the , shown in its Italian markings. The kit is showing its age, but with a little TLC it can be turned in to a rather nice kit, I used the Aires cockpit, and wheel wells, along with Reedoak figures, and verlinden carrier deck trucks. Below is the back story An Italian AV-8B Harrier hitched a ride home aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) after six months of maintenance in the US. The Italian aircraft, along with its flight crew, returned to Grottaglie Naval Base, Italy, on January 3, after the six months of scheduled maintenance at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, and two weeks of final checks and training aboard Kearsarge. Hope you enjoy Mike 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I really like that! Shows what a heavy wash can do to create depth of texture. The Harrier looks amazing but what really makes it work are the excellent figures. Take a bow, son! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTEN75 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Stunning diorama, Great execution and a very interesting idea for representing italian Harriers. Why did you choose that radome? This should not be correct for an Italian Harrier Plus version. Andrea Edited April 22, 2019 by MARTEN75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
