Popular Post HartDeco Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hi all. I just finished my 3rd 1/48 Harrier of the year. After Kinetic's AV-8A and Hasegawa's AV-8B, I wanted to build the Kinetic RAF GR3 version. This kit is basically the same kit as the AV-8A, except for the decals. For this build I used Eduard's interior and exterior pe sets and a Master pitot tube. The kit has very nice surface details and the fit is very good. Only a few spots need some extra attention and a bit of filler. Nothing major though. The model was painted with Mr Hobby acrylics, colour numbers H330 and H331. This was airbrushed in thin coats over an Alclad black primer base. A wash was made from Abteilung 502 oilpaint and AK white spirit. The kit decals were used and they are very good. Printed by Cartograf and among the best I've ever used. Thank you for watching. René. 105 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was but that was because I made the tyres weighted, so I had to make some adjustments. I don't know how the wheels stand straight from the box though.

Awesome, I'm new(ish) to the hobby and feel that a lot of panel lines are too bold and unrealistic. But I do understand that it's a personally choice and interpreted as everyone feels is right for themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
