1/72 Harrier GR5


TANK63

Recommended Posts

I purchased a kit of a GR1 by Airfix which sparked the interest in doing a collection of Harriers. Also purchased a GR3 and the sea Harriers will be next. However how do I model a GR5 and is their a GR7 ? I know Airfix do a GR9. I not that knowledgeable in regards to Harriers.

The GR.7 is easy, just use the Airfix GR.9 with the lerx of your chosen aircraft.

The same kit can be converted into a GR.5 cutting the nose and replacing with a suitable part: the nose from the older Airfix kit will work and Quickboost does a part for the Hasegawa kit.

Or just buy the Hasegawa GR.5

Hasegawa's GR.5 is an AB-8B with a GR.5 nose stuck on, missing the belly and wingtip fittings of the real thing. I plan on using an old Airfix GR.5 nose on an Airfix GR.9.
