nimrod54 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Try searching for videos H, I found this Youtube video of a GR.9 taxiing out and going through control checks (about 1min 20sec in). It's not from underneath and the quality is a bit naf, but I'm sure there will be plenty of others of second gen Harriers that will give you some pointers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ36Np5zX4M&ab_channel=DarrenBPlanesAutos HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) This is one of the better ones I found... https://images.fast-air.co.uk/100427-RAF-Cottesmore/RAF-Harrier-GR9-ZG477-Sniper-Photo-2.jpg Hardly a close in detailed one but will continue searching. There's a couple from above and behind in various books I have if they are of any value? Edited March 25, 2022 by Col. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 And I have a 1/48 drawing of a GR.7 underside in a copy of Modellers Datafile 17 if it is of any use. If used with @Col.'s photo it should give you some idea of the flap actuators position, if that is the detail you are looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks guys. I have found some pictures online too, much the same as Cols. In the end I have gone with the “File some off, it I’ll be reet” approach. in the mean time, she’s getting bigger 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Coming along very nicely H, definitely looking more Harrier shaped. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a good plan Although it seems the fit of some parts on your kit are about as 'good' as on my one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Looking good H! Have you noticed the gaps in the lower corner of the intake/fuselage transition? No idea what Hase was thinking. Same as the gaps next to the nozzles!? You can look through 🥴 I will try to show a picture of what I mean later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Found them on my OneDrive... I tried to close the gap with styrene, but didn't like it. Will try it with epoxy putty after I finish my current builds. And these are the other spots I mean... Alex 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Primed and ready for some green @nimrod54, @Hewy, @modelling minion and all other “Brothers of Pink” A pilot figure for some much needed primer of pink. It’s also in use as an undercoat for yellow in the latest Airfix Model World magazine (page 56) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be right to have one of your builds without the ubiquitous pink primer would it.😉 Especially with so much grey primer on your Harrier, looking very good by the way. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 First coat of Lichen Green by Hataka brush painted on the lower surface. I had wanted to do more this week, but have been struck by a rather Serious case of Man Flu. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Looking very nice indeed H, a good smooth coat of paint. I know what you mean about the current flu going around, I managed to pick it up a fortnight ago and it turned into a chest infection now, the joys of long covid and a compromised immune system. 🇺🇦 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
