DrumBum Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hi there, Here is the latest from the bench. Out of the box except for the Eduard cockpit. An average kit, poor fit between fuselage and wings and awful instructions. Great decals. Aircraft ZA177 flown by David "Mog" Morgan in 1982. 42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thats beautiful, love the way you've done the over-painted squadron badge on the tail. Very nicely turned out SHar. Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 A most attractive Harrier. I'm really envious of the silky smooth finish… Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Very nice work great result. I've made the FA2 and that took a bit of work to get the wings to fit nicely. gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumBum Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Thanks for the feedback folks. I should mention that the markings were finished following advice from Mog, the pilot who flew this plane in the Falklands conflict. For info, i inserted a thick brass rod inside the fuselage just above the forward nozzles that was wide enough to push the fuselage sides apart about 1mm, just enough to permit the wing to sit almost correctly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear.....sounds like there's a bit involved in putting one of these together. I plan to build one one day. It's come up real good though., Nice one!

Grey Beema Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Nicely done. Great finishing I recently completed the same kit. The kit is disappointing with poor fit around the wing especial in the fuselage / underside wing join so congratulations in getting yours done..

DrumBum Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Just completed the Hasegawa A-4P as flown by Hector Sanchez during an encounter with the Sea Harrier sitting behind flown by David Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Nice work! Even better if you set the FRS.1's ailerons to neutral. Kinetic dropped one with making them droop-able - only applicable to the ailerons on Harrier IIs and not first generation Harriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
