Telboy3510 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It seems crazy thinking back to being at school when the GR.5 was new and cycling down to Farnborough after school to watch them at the air show.................... Great work, they both look awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
