Lex77 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi all, This is my kit for this groupbuild 20200811_200244 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr Will be making it in the markings as pictured on the box and will be adding a Eduard PE set for the cockpit. Read somewhere that there were some adjustments to be made on the wings, can someone help me were to find the adjustments? Thanks! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Looks like this thread contains all the known issues. Posts 15 and 16 by NG899 and Pappy respectively address the wing dogtooth issue. Looks like it's a great kit with just a few minor issues, most of which sound easily fixable or they're so minor that only the most eagle eyed experts would notice them. Having said that, it reads like the ordnance might be quite a let down. Good luck with your build and I'll keep an eye on how you get on as I have an FRS1 to tackle soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Good luck with your build Lexx, I built one of these a couple of years ago and found it "interesting" at times. Don't forget to fit the LP compressor fan for the Pegasus as the instructions completely miss it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like the Sea Harrier that I'm currently wrestling with, that won't be ALL the instructions miss out - fitting the wing assembly?, drilling location holes? etc etc.! Go carefully!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex77 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks guys! I indeed found out that the compressor fan was missing and attached it. The location holes I did miss and have to be made later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I love the look of the two-seater Harriers and the shiny black suits it beautifully Someone once told me that the black was adopted as a hi-viz scheme. I'm not sure if that's true? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex77 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 And this one is done! Last bits and pieces were glued on today. Somehow during the build the canopy got a scratch but as I glued it closed I won't be fixing it. 20200927_170706 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200927_170713 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200927_170731 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200927_170755 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20200927_170807 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr Thanks to the hosts for organising this! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
