junglierating Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thats hoofin mate ....only those roundels look a bit strange...high ratio of white ...probably just the angle. Doesnt detract from a good representation..👍👍👍😷😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Very nice. Lovely build. Always preferred the look of this pre-Falkland scheme than the later overall grey 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Great build of the best looking Harrier version 👍 You say OOB, but I'm guessing to did something to drop the aux intake doors as they are not like that on my boxing of the kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Ditto on the roundels! That is what a Sea Harrier is supposed to look like- I, too love the classic early scheme! I still believe the Esci/Italeri early Harriers are the best kits to work from in 1/72 scale. That's a very nice model and you should be proud of it.

Hook Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Very nice indeed! The 1983 ESCI mold is still the best SHAR out there in Gentlemen's Scale. Cheers, Andte 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tbolt, yes I did cut out and drop the aux intake doors. It was a real fiddle and I stuffed up the starboard side by gluing them in back to front 🤭a spot of black paint has disguised the whoopsie. In future I’ll replace the intakes with after market ones.

Italeri let you down a bit with the roundels (see pic), but the model and the finish are really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Nicely done, I do like the SHAR in the original scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
