Harrier/ViperFan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Well this is my first GB and i'm hoping that i will get it finished as i am not a very fast builder. But i am hoping that this will help me over come this to be honest. I decided to go with the GR.3 because no one is doing one plus it's one of my favorates. I am unsure on markings yet as i have some coming from Hannants and i was going to use Eduard set but i am tempted to use the Kits world 3D cockpit set to see how they look compaired to QS stuff ( i know smaller scale ) . Anyway on with the box shoots.

planecrazee Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hey @Harrier/ViperFan - good choice of kit - I'm biased because I'm building this one myself so if it's ok with you I'd like to pull up a pew and see how you get on with yours too Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier/ViperFan Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 I'm not entirly happy with the Eduard set, the colour seems off to me? IMG_E4118 by HarrierViperFan, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andwil Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I’m interested to see how the masks work as a I’ve built two Harriers in wrap around, a GR.3 and a T.4, using blue tack worms and tape and it was a right pain! AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal experience I tried a kits world 3d panel on another build, awful thing, ended up binning it. Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not tried them yet but the instructions are easy to follow. Time will tell if they are worth the £10 or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
