Popular Post Calum Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 Kinetics 1/48 BAe Harrier Gr.3. Not a bad kit overall. Done as a 4 Sqn Cold War machine . Thanks to Nick from the Harrier SIG for his help. Any errors are mine. There is a full build article at my blog along with some more photos of the finished model in another post I used the following Aftermarket Phase Hangar Resin Centreline Pylon Phase Hangar Resin Outriggers and Wheels Reskit Wheels Reskit Matra 155 Rocket Pods Aires Exhausts (for the Sea Harrier) Quickboost Scoops Eduard Seat Belts Master Models Pitot (modified) Eduard Steel RBF Tags (pylons) HGW Fabric RBF tags (Outriggers) Anyway here's some photos I couldn't resist snapping a couple of shots beside it's Cold War contemporary, the Jaguar. 76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I read your blog and this sound like a real labour of love. The result is stunning anyway, I love the sureface texture & the photography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Utterly convincing Harrier! All it needs now is a neat diorama base. Superb modelling. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 As everyone else has said, one of the best renditions of a Harrier I've seen - and the "Jag" is an excellent kit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Excellent work! Great build and finish. I particularly liked the subtle wear on the leading edges, showing the primer underneath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Brilliant! I note your Kiwi icon. Did you know that there is a GR3 in NZ? Ashburton aviation museum, about an hour’s drive south of Christchurch, to be specific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Splendid little Harrier, isn't it? It brings back memories of the 80s and the Gütersloh Harriers. Back then I saw them almost daily and remembered them as going low, fast and agile. The appearance of your model looks spot on. I like the weathering (maybe some extra soot stains on the rear fuselage...), the paint chipping and the added bits like the RBF tags and the down locks. It looks really alive, especially in the head on view. Geno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza l Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Really nice work, I do like the subtle weathering details. Good job on the rocket pod covers, I recently made the GR1 version with the Reskit pods and gave up trying to paint them on. I think I need a silhouette cutter like yourself. gazza l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
