SouthViper Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Well... after seeing the new Kinetic Hawker Harriers 1/48 kits I am sure I will have to substitute those crude ``bricks like`` vortex generators over wings, so I ask if does exist some PE Manufacturers that produces some Vortex for Harriers or another airplanes ?

Experiences after working with an 1/72 scale F-86D. One is simple, two is easy. Three, now it starts to become hard. Four, a nightmare...

TimB Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Alternatively, cut the "bricks" to shape or use very thin plastic card... On Harriers I've used both. BTW the real ones were glued on but it was a bit easier in 1:1. The best solution I have seen in PE had protruding pins that fitted into holes you drilled in the wing. Assuming the hole was correctly located, this have a good seat for the superglue, and allowed the right angles to be set on the vortex gennys.

Regards Tim I did it this way on the recent Buccaneer build A friendly inquisitive alchemist made these for me I drilled a zillion holes all over the shop and finally got symmetry Then did the stuporgoo drop business and lined up carefully It was quite ... taxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcanberra Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) On the GR3 the plates are right angled (as above picture) so the flat plate is glued to the wings. The Airwaves GR3/FRS etch had the same form - so there is a nice flat plate to glue to the wing - if you can get them folded and located that is without the carpet monster intervening. Unfortunatley it looks as if the GR5/7/9 had simpler vertical plates (images in the Fox Two Harrier book) Edited May 16, 2019 by kingcanberra Later versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
