Kinetic 1:48 Sea Harrier FRS1


Recommended Posts

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.

Thats beautiful, love the way you've done the over-painted squadron badge on the tail.

 

Very nicely turned out SHar.

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.

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!

Cheers

 No images showing here either

 

 

I had to click on them and then click on the little "no image" icon in the middle of the screen to see them.

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..
