MigModeller Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi all, I've been looking at the decal sheet on the Italeri web page: https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2854 I cannot see the white "XV741" in white for the nose. has anyone got this kit and would like to comment? The canopy, according to the site, is the best I have seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 It doesn't seem that the kit has the extended wing tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall fifty years ago taking the old Revell 1/32 kit and for my first time not doing a model OOB and adding the wing tips and a refuelling probe from spruce and plastic card and being pleased as Punch. I imagine it would not be too difficult to fabricate them in 1/72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hopefully the OP has these https://www.freightdogmodels.co.uk/featured/freightdog-1-72-hs-harrier-gr-1-anniversary-air-race-update-set.html Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Well, that's just led me down the rabbit-hole of spending a small fortune at Freightdog... Just to confirm what Junglierating said, yep, that's the small white serials. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robc Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Just looking at those sprue shots on the Italeri web page: https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2854 The clear parts appear to be those of a Sea Harrier, not a GR1/GR3. In fact, all three latest releases 1435,1410 & 1401 all show the incorrect canopy. 1278 & 1329 show the correct canopies. It remains to be seen as to what's in the box.

boffin Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I've checked my model (1435) and it has a different clear sprue to that at top above. Mr sprue is same as second pic. Canopy has no MDC George Edited January 26, 2020 by boffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider me enlightened! I'd be checking other references as I'm almost certain that the undersurfaces were definitely LAG and not white. I stand to be corrected of course.

It's just Italeri keeping us on our toes. Mind you, it would look quite fetching with white undersides! Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The Dinky one was white underneath. Maybe whoever does the Italeri instructions played with his as much as I did with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
