AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Well done, never, even in museums have I seen the subject modelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover101 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks Mish! There is one in1/24 in theScience Museum in London but it's a bit basic. I used photos of it to get my head around the structure. Once i started "growing" it with 0.8mm brass wire the structure explaned itself. Don't you love the way the two engines act through the same centre??!! Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Cracking model. There's also one in the FAA Museum in Yeovilton sitting on a turntable. Ive managed to get a couple of Nenes from Mig 15 kits but other than drawings pics and the Nenes Ive got it all to do. Hope it comes out as well as yours!

landrover101 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Good luck - let me know if I can help. There's plenty of stuff on the net. I'm sure yours will be crisper than mine! I'm plucking up the courage to do a tiny 1/72 one! I do plan to do the whole Harrier story in 1/48, though.... (All talk!). Jez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 thats a great bit of scratchbuilding, nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 If you made some plans or have a parts breakdown then I'd much appreciate them to get me going. The only plan I have is one I down loaded and its a bit too low resolution so I took a heap of pictures of the one in the science museum to help but you could save me a heap of time.

Blacktjet Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Excellent work! Don't MAP do a set of plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LASTSTARFIGHTER Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hello Mister, I'm new in this forum, and i want to follow you in a 1/48 TMR built. Have you photos of the cockpit and the instruments of this rig? Or something who can help me on my research. I thank you in advance for your answer.

landrover101 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I got everything from the net as far as I remember. The chaps at FAST at Farnborough sent me some additional press photos but I had no close-ups of the cockpit so mine is an educated guess! The only plan was from a simplified line drawing in a press report on the net The fun was in working out the structure from the various photographic angles and the inevitable scaling. I think the absolute scaling came from Aires' engine at 1:48 so my TMR might not even be the right size!! I now have (conflicting!!) three-views of the Short SC.1 which I regard as the next step in the Harrier story and, as it lends itself to being at least partly clear vacformings, perhaps I should release a kit.... A sad time for Harrier fans.... Who's got drawings of the P11/27 prototypes and Kestrel??? All the best. JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossm Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Great model though, isn't it? Anyone know if there was ever a kit of the SC1? In 1/72 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover101 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bit too small in 1:72. THE scale but even the full-blown Harrier's a tiddler at 1" to 6'...! I've got two Revell 1:32 GR1 s... What shall I do with them....? I NEED a 1:24 GR9 - as a memorial - must I carve one out of solid wood and resin??? Let's lobby Trevor Snowdon for the next big Airfix rleas!!! LR 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
