Thats hoofin mate ....only those roundels look a bit strange...high ratio of white ...probably just the angle.

Doesnt detract from a good representation..👍👍👍😷😃

Now you mention it they do look a bit odd, no where near as obvious in the “flesh” as in the photos though.

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?

I agree - just go and get yourself some proper Type D roundels

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.

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.

A very nicely done model.  Italeri let you down a bit with the roundels (see pic), but the model and the finish are really good.
