Decoman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I have been lazy with the decal work here. Looking forward to start on a 1/48 Sea Harrier kit soon. Update: Wow, the Airfix A05101 1:48 BAE Sea Harrier FRS.1 kit was less charming. I regret buying it. I thought the detailing would be better in this scale. I knew this was an older kit but expected it to be better somehow. Edited July 9, 2012 by Decoman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Airfix's 1/48th SHAR is VERY dated however.....it can come out rather okay (mind you this is an FA2 converted back to an FRS1 - with fuselage plug removed and new Milliput radome. New converted 190 Gallon drop tanks (100 gallon tanks extended and wrapped with plastic card and them milliput at either end...) new twin 'winders and rails and a resin cockpit tub...Flightpath ladder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Just the one Harrier for me this year...Airfix GR3 (old mould) in 1/72. OOB save for fixing the intake doors and opening the canopy. Tried my hand at salt weathering for the first time and it worked ok.  Airfix Harrier GR3_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr  Airfix Harrier GR3_1 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr  Airfix Harrier GR3_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr  Airfix Harrier GR3_4 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr  Cheers, Dermot Edited January 12, 2018 by Dermo245 Fixing photo links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocksAway Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd forgotten all about this thread ... nice to see it updated - thank you. On that basis, I suppose I ought to add my collection to the expanded list ... so here it is "the dirty dozen" ... 11 1/48 scale Harriers and 1 1/72 scale (the T10) ... GR7 / GR9 / FRS1 FRS1 / AV-8S / GR1 AV-8A / T10 / GR5 AV-8S / GR3 / GR9 Next on the production line is an FRS.51, so I can remove the T10 and keep to 1/48 scale (and take some better photos!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Pure magic guys, congratulations to all concerned. If I can dig my three out of the computer and get them onto Photobucket then I'll post then. One FRS 1 Post Falklands Fujimi kit, one GR 7 new Arifix kit and lastly, the Airfix SHAR 2. Then I have an original Airfix kit, which I may build for the Obsolete kits GB, which will finish my personal tribute the this fine machine.

NG899 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ok chaps, I'm persuaded to join the party, here are a few of mine... Sea Harrier FRS.1 XZ455/12 of HMS Hermes's Air Group, Falklands War. 1:24th scale conversion of the Airfix GR.Mk1 kit, originally built in the mid-80s and completely overhauled 1999-2003. Phil Cater says that in its original form this is the model that inspired him to start the Harrier Special Interest Group in the early 1990s; so, if for no other reason, it has a lot to answer for! With the exception of the windscreen, everything forward of the rear of the intake blow-in doors is scratch-built. I must get a better photo of it! Harrier GR.Mk3 XZ133/10 of No.1(F) Sqn as it landed on HMS Hermes piloted by Flt Lt Murdo MacLeod after a driect flight from Ascension Island on 1st June 1982. 1:48th scale detailed Airfix kit. Harrier GR.Mk9A ZG472/62A of No.1(F) Sqn, RAF Cottesmore, 15 December 2010, flown by Lt Cdr James Blackmore as 'Jedi 3' of Kestrel Formation. 1:48th scale Hasegaawa GR.Mk7 kit modified and with AIRfarme decals. Harrier T.Mk12 ZH659/107 of No.IV® Sqn, RAF Cottesmore, 15 December 2010, flown by Lt Cdr Paul Francis and Sqn Ldr Andy Tagg as 'Poison 3' of Kestrel Formation. 1:48th scale conversion from the Hasegawa/Revell kit. The masters are being used by Heritgae for their new T10/T12 conversion set. Hawker P.1127 XP831, Dunsfold, November 1960. 1:72nd scale detailed and modified Airfix kit of the aircraft that started the whole Harrier lineage. I know, the lighting could be better with the last one. Cheers, Nick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalbert Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hey all, this is a Harrier T4N using the Airfix 1/72 GR3 and ID models conversion. Bit of a pig to say the least and not my best effort, but here it is nonetheless. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
