Harrier Send-Off - Show us your models


ChocksAway

Recommended Posts

Folks,

A number of us on this forum have a passion for the Harrier and are very sad to see its demise (appreciate may be an understatement for some). So how about we pay it a fitting tribute by posting photos of all our Harrier models (completed only) in this thread? That would make one helluva final display and send-off? I know we have the Group Build some time in the future, but that will be an excuse to show a few more.

I'll start the ball rolling ...

Sea Harrier FRS.1 - XZ494 / 716-VL - 899 NAS

Thank you for your kind words, Bruce!

I use a large piece of blue-grey cardboard that i clip on the desk and wall in a soft curve.

The light i use is a desk lamp fitted with a large eco bulb. this casts a softer shadow.

I use a small (1.3m tall) telescopic tripod for the camera.

PS. Your Telic Gr7 is stunning!

GR7-CALaarbruch92.jpg

GR7 in the original Green/Green scheme. This is Charlie Alpha (CA) at Laarbruch in 1992 (Whilst I was working on 4Sqn)This was the CO's A/C who was killed in a crash a few years later..

I'll take some better one with the DSLR....

Oh yes this is before the hasagawa/revell ones so was converted from the Monagram AV8B....

CBLS from converted 1000lb bomb.

When I looked at this I instantly thought what a cool idea to do the Aircraft carrier lift in an Airfix box scheme?
