Lord Riot Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 XV778 was delivered to the RAF in April 1970 as a GR1. It was converted to GR3 standard in the early 70s when it received the updated Mk103 Pegasus engine, before receiving the laser nose and tail RWR by 1977. This Harrier served in Belize and later took part in exercises in Norway during its time with 1 Sqn at Wittering. The Kinetic kit is absolutely fantastic, fitting together well and with great detail and superb decals. I’ve depicted the Harrier as an early GR3 pre laser nose. Huge thanks to @NG899 for the brilliant and very helpful extra info on the kit and the Harrier in general. All comments welcome! 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Very nice indeed,..... the kit looks ace and I cannot decide between the laser or original nose fo my own,...... looks like I`ll be buying another now!! Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks guys! It’s certainly well worth buying in my opinion, fits together lovely and plenty of options. I’m tempted to get another now too so I can do a laser nose version. Got the T2/4 in the stash as well, hopefully it’s as nice to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 What a beaut, I found this build to be an inspiration for my 1/32 version. It's a nice kit alright but you had to put the work in, well worth it in the end. Great result! Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
