ESCI 1/72 Sea Harrier FRS.1 - Finished


Recommended Posts

Just caught up, having missed it up until now. An amazing and very complete Harrier presentation!

 

It's so good it's almost made me think the overall EDSG lo-vis scheme looks nicer than the EDSG over white. 

 

 

Almost :)

 

Regards,

Adrian

Looking forward to seeing the crew added.

Thanks Chris, they're itching to get on deck.

But going to be tomorrow, just got in from some training 🙄 (and in desperate need of refreshment... :beer:)

 

Cheers,

Thank you Adrian. I may have got a bit carried away with the extras!

 

I'm now getting excited about my next build project - which will be familiar to you, the FROG Percival Proctor, or actually 2 of them (there is a good reason which will be revealed). I'll be referring back to your excellent FROG Squad build which, at the time I missed (first ever GB, new to BM).

 

Cheers,

Don't scribe the lines running spanwise on the wings, which were fabric covered. I did, and I've regretted it ever since!

 

First world problem, I know 🙄

The Maintainers are on the deck and the pilot is doing the checks before his CAP.

 

A long and almost entirely enjoyable build, now completed.

 

Many thanks to all who've encouraged, commented or liked the build. Got to give a special thanks to Nick @NG899 and Richard of the IPMS Harrier SIG. This really wouldn't have been possible without the tremendous support, information (and decals!) they gave.

 

Here's what she looks like, hope you like it. This and more are now in a RFI.

An absolute cracker Charlie.

Brilliant work.

 

Many thanks Chris and Alister. And for all your encouragement during the build, you're a couple of stars!

 

Cheers,

Terrific! Adding a figure or two brings things to life.

Thanks Adrian, much easier in 1/72, one of the few advantages.

I like the way you have run the deck markings round the edge of the base - very striking.

Wasn't sure whether to or not, but it sort of works.

 

Cheers,
