Telboy3510 1,066 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Seasons Greetings All, You might remember my last RFI which was a Harrier G.R3, which I had picked up for £10 along with a G.R5. Well here is the second one, I built the two together, both old models but I have to say the Revell one was the superior, much less less flash and an altogether better fit all round I used very little filler on this one. Built straight out of the box with the only addition being a pilot. Painted mainly with Revell Acrylics and some Tamiya acrylics. I normally show the box artwork but unfortunately the box was in such a poor state it wasn't worth it. And now the two together. Thanks for looking, as usual all comments and criticisms are welcome. Finally I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and a better New Year than this one has been. 24 Link to post Share on other sites

112 Squadron 246 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It is nice to see how these older kits are turned into fine models by a skillful modeller. The Revell Harrier is actually the old Italeri kit from the early 80s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
neil5208 3,022 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Excellent Gr5. Been looking which Gr5 to get myself so will go for the Revell kit. One minor observation about your build is the gun pods are fitted backwards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

One minor observation about your build is the gun pods are fitted backwards. Now you come to mention it I think they probably are . It's a good job my model building is just a past time, I'll just bank it a bit more on the stand that should sort it! Be aware that this is a old model with raised panel lines, that said it almost fell together, so good you can put the gun pods on backwards.

Serkan Sen 4,100 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Lovely build. I bought a HobbyBoss 1:18 one with a best deal price couple weeks ago but I don't know when to build where to display such a giant... Serkan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
