Popular Post daryl_five_zero Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 Evening, all! After building on and off since first lockdown(!) I've finally managed to finish my Hasegawa Harrier, built as GR.9 ZG511/82 as she was during her last deployment to Kandahar. This build was a real labour of love. It's still the best big wing Harrier in this scale in my opinion, but she really fights you along the way. The end result is worth it though. I threw lots of aftermarket goodies at this one. I felt that the subject was worth the effort. Aires cockpit (butchered to more resemble a Brit Harrier) Eduard MB Mk.12 Ejection Seat AlleyCat 100% LERX Eduard TERMA & Sniper pods DJRP from @Shaun (many thanks, again!) Eduard PE Eduard weighted wheels & outriggers Belcher Bits LAU-5003/CRV-7 Pods L'Arsenal PWIV Model Alliance decals This was my first time using Hataka Red line acrylics, and they performed flawlessly. Weathered using Windsor & Newton oils, Flory wash, and sealed with W&N Acrylic varnishes. There was a bit of scratchbuilding and correcting to do to represent a British Harrier. For anyone interested, trials & tribulations can be found on my WIP here. Anyway, here's some pics. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed building it! C&C welcomed as always. Thanks for looking! Daryl. 101 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark R Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 That's a fantastic looking Harrier Daryl, very impressive work. I love the lighter grey on upper side to give the contrast, and the lower fuselage staining just adds so much depth. Excellent spray work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteR Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hello Daryl. I too am sorting this kit out. Have the AV-8b though. wondering, would the AV-8b early day time version have the strength shield on either side that you made ? i'm building AV-8b from Desert Storm . appreciate any help. Your build kit - brilliant btw. Thank you. PeteR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
