621Andy Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) This was just meant to be a cheap fill in whilst waiting for the Mi-17 to arrive but actually was quite a nice build in the end. The fit of some parts was as you would expect from a 1982(or possibly earlier, Scalemates say 1972!) model whereby it fitted where it touched! But other bits went together nicely. Detail is a bit sparse and there are lots of inaccuracies for an in-service aircraft but if you look past that then for 30€ you can't really complain. The decals were OK but the large roundels on the intakes had to be sliced into sections to get them to mould to the shape even with Micro-wotsit... I added a few details here and there, most of which can't be seen(!) but it was good practice. I must say I'm quite taken with this bigger scale but it does take up a lot of shelf space! Here's the WIP... Most of these pics were taken before I added the matt clear coat, but the ones I took after are even worse quality than these😜 Oh, and I was going to add the anemometer thingy in front of the canopy...but I broke it getting it off the sprue😬 Edited May 3, 2021 by 621Andy 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That's fantastic! But then again I do have a soft spot for wraparound camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Brilliant! Lovely looking giant Harrier, superb! When we get a bigger house I’m determined to have a collection of 1/32 RAF jets. If only there was a Lightning and Bucc in this scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 For a weekend 'quickie' it has turned out rather nicely. One for near the front of the display shelf! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
