Glenn R Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi All, Just finished this today, it's once again, converted from the old Revell 1/32 kit. I hope it meets with your approval. Shown here with my P1127 for comparison. All I need now is the Trumpeter GR.7 to make a nice trio. Regards, Glenn 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Nice work on both. They have to be worth a "how I did it" article? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Oh yes! Very nice work there Glenn and quite a lot of work as well I'd imagine. Can you tell us a little about how you converted her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn R Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi All, To answer a few questions:- The nose section of the kit was sawn off and a 47 'scale inches' balsa plug was inserted, this was sanded down, removed, sanded down a bit more and was then used as a vacform master. The rear portion of the canopy was done in almost the same way. the elongated rear end was built up from plasticard and epoxy putty, as was the fin/rudder.I hope you find this of some use.

xffw45343tg Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I hope it meets with your approval. Yes it does. Please keep building Harriers. Any chance of the VAAC next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn R Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yes it does. Please keep building Harriers. Any chance of the VAAC next? Hi kirk, Sorry, no. The only other Harrier I shall build will be one of Trumpeters 1/32 GR.7's when they come out. There are so many other models I want to build, I need at least another three lifetimes to get them all done! Regards, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 A right pair of beauties Glenn! I don't remember seeing G-VTOL in those colours before, was that it's first scheme? I've only seen her in camo. Excellent builds and I look forward to seeing what you do with the Trumpy kit when it gets released.

general melchett Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Very nice Glenn , the P1127 is more my cup of char to be honest , Beautiful finish on both, I believe that the colourful scheme didn't last too long as the aircraft ran out of runway on a test flight from Dunsfold in 1971 , was badly damaged and lost it's lovely shiny coat whilst being retreived from the crash site by crane .I've only ever seen it on Ken Duffey's 1/72nd scale job, more used to seeing it in brown/tan camo or grey/white. Great job, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Kit Builder Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sweet. For me the P1127 does it, but I can't fault your Harrier and you've matched the blue really nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Can't wait to see the GR.7, you've got me addicted! Absolutely drooling over the both of them... Are the exhaust ducts painted on the 1.1 version? I imagine they'd be a real bugger to upkeep! Well done mate and keep them coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
