POMPEO Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 First of 2021 is Finished. Very enjoyable build. An excellent model kit from Kineticmodel - The Harrier GR.3 1/48 scale has an awesome fit, nice details, and its an Icon of the Aviation History. Love to have him on my Collection... Paint job with Ammo and Lifecolor acrylics. The aircraft presented is from RAF 4th Squadron, Home Based at RAF Gütersloh, West Germany, 1992. 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Well that’s turned out lovely! Hoping mine is as good as this when I finish it! Love that paint chipping on the leading edges, I’m stealing that idea 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Lovely result. Does the Kinetic kit have the parts for the SHAR FRS1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm understanding your question correctly, no the Kinetic GR Mk.3 kits only shares some common sprues with their Sea Harrier kits, for instance the wings and stores. @POMPEO excellent work and a very eyecatching droptank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Really good paint job looks most convincing! Slight criticism, to make things better, you need to remove the Royal Navy No 7 2inch rocket pods that were only fitted to GR3 for the Falklands war, and replace them with the correct 68mm M155 SNEB rocket pods the RAF used. Oh and by the way there has never been a "4th" Squadron in the RAF its Number 4 (AC) squadron RAF. The RAF does not use first second or third designations for its units. 😎 Selwyn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
