Harrier GR3 - Airfix 1/24th scale

[tomprobert]

Afternoon folks 

 

Here's Airfix's classic Harrier GR3 from the venerable 1/24th scale kit, warts and all. Built as it comes, but with some home-made additions to the cockpit and seat.

 

The Airfix decals and Xtracolour paints were used throughout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For its age, it's a really nice kit. The cockpit is very basic and the landing gear and bays are lacking in details, but with some good old-fashioned scratch-building you can make a decent representation of the Harrier. 

 

Happy modelling!

I recently built this too, using resin intakes and a mix of resin and kit parts for the cockpit.  I agree, it is a good kit for its age, and as I only paid £25 for mine, I'm happy.

Very nice Tom, it looks like a modern kit, not one that first came out 40+ years ago.

Lovely camo finish on it too.

 

Cheers

Very neat build and finish! As Viking remarked, doesn't look like an old kit at all. Takes a good modeller to achieve that!

 

Kind regards,

I recently acquired a part built one - hope it turns out as well as yours

That's a stunner!

That really is top notch, to achieve such a quality finish on by modern standards a basic kit is a tribute to your modelling skills.
