Andwil Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Harrier GR3, XZ967 D “Donatello” 1473 Flight, Belize 1993. Built for the Helicopter, Autogyro and STOVL group build. Airfix 1/72, Freightdog resin tail fin, Pavla jet nozzles, CMK seat, Master pitot and AOA sensor, Brengun PE boarding ladder, decals from Xtradecal set X72186. My first attempt at airbrushing a disruptive camouflage scheme using blue tack worms. True to form I picked a nice easy subject, wrap around and with a complex area around the jet nozzles! I was attracted to this aircraft as Donatello was my daughter’s favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and here he is on the tail: Thanks for looking.

ColinChipmunkfan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That is a good looking Harrier, a good friend of mine served with these in Belize, you don't often see them modelled. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill.B Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Nice job, and you’ve just inspired me to build a Harrier myself...and possibly a Buccaneer too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Gorgeous Harrier! Very well painted too, looks just right. The blu-tack worms is a good trick isn't it, I always use that technique now. I thought it was 1/48 from looking, very detailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Good job with the worms, there are some tricky shapes to get round on a Harrier. Nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Looks spot-on - the worms did their job just nicely. Excellent build! 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Excellent Harrier. I was in Belize in '93 as well with 45 Commando. We were in the South though and only ever saw RAF Puma's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hello Andwil, Your first attempt on the camou stage has worked very well. Most favorite picture: The front one with a good side on the jet engine inlet. Regards, Orion - The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
