RidgeRunner Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 That is gorgeous! Or as gorgeous as a Harrier can be . Edit: each to their own, of course :). Martin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrés S. Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 The only type of Harrier with the nickname "Matador" were the AV-8S, which were actually American AV-8A based on the Gr.1. The AV-8B Harriers used by the Spanish Navy were not given the "Matador" nickname. The name is not correct either the double designation II and Plus at the same time and also putting an E in front of it. The second generation Harriers used by Spain were called Harrier AV-8B and AV-8B II or AV-8B Plus, but never EAV-8B II Plus. Andrés. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Excellent model - great realistic finish. 01-925 is the Harrier that had a brake fire as it taxied in to its spot on arrival on the Wednesday. Lots of dramatic smoke as the fire tenders arrived - I took a few photos if anyone is interested. Ken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 A very nice job on that Alex, I think I'll hold back on mine till everyone has forgotten this one, it'll look a bit of a poor relation against this. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Mr. Color C317 and C307, lightening them slightly. This particular aircraft also had a light grey radome with an "almost white" underside, but this is not standard on Spanish Harriers.

Winded Penguin Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Always for a Harrier, but this one is particularly outstandingly fitted out with detail in 1/72 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopesdaddy Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 A beautifully finished Harrier from a lesser modeled user, what is not to love. Beautifully done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shearwater Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Stunning build (and great photography of it too). You are the Harrier master! (I have closely followed some of your other Harriers for inspiration). Thank for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Simply sublime in any scale, never mind 1/72 😍 I love the staining and how it sits perfectly on its gear with a very convincing amount of weight on the tyres. Perfecto! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You make the uniform grayish spanish camo looking quite good, the amount of weathering is spot on! Cheers Hans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I was always fond of the Spanish Harriers. Indeed I wondered why Indeed the Spanish had Harriers. I'm a fan of Spanish aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
