Harrier GR3


Recommended Posts

I bought this for a fiver from someone who'd done most of the build. Without knowing their vision, I merely finished it off. One of the few Airfix 1/24 kits I'd not built before, it was a challenge that should stand me in good stead when I build another. Without any further ado...

XV788 Flying Officer Paul Meade No.1453 Flight, Port Stanley, Royal Air Force, Falkland Islands, 1984.

Great work!

Must be huge!! :) :)

 

question regarding the Wing: are those long endurance enhancing wing tips?

 

 

Thanks, it is!

Not sure about the effect of the wing tips - maybe someone else knows...

I record my paints so I can replicate schemes :smartass:

I do the same, just not as detailed. Basically just need to know what color i dont have yet, or i could use another color etc 

 

Cheers
