Papa 695s 1/24 Harrier Gr3

You've captured the worn look of a hard-worked GR3 nicely Ian. That winter camouflage scheme has really made your Harrier a fantastic looking piece.

I, and the rest of the spectators gasped when it faced the crowd in a hover and bowed.

Must have been a Harrier party trick, one came to NZ in 1992 and did the same routine. Loud and just plain awesome.

Great looking jump jet Ian ,the finish and weathering are spot on! Very nicely done Sir! BTW did you order the glue by the case for this Monster?

[Steve Brodie]

Excellent., weathering is top notch

[bazers]

Great weathering and finish Ian.

And there it is, well done Ian, nice to see it finished. and what a result, very nice.


As we both know the 'dedication' required to complete this kit - I'm actually nearly ready for another...

To be honest Colin I've got an idea for another build already, but I will wait a bit to do it.

Top work Ian mate , it looks so real ! The mucky weathering is great , just what I'd expect to see on a hard worked aircraft operating in harsh winter conditions. The exhaust nozzles really caught my eye too , they look amazingly real ,what did you use to get the burnt metal effect?, great build , cheers tony

Sorry for the late reply Tony.


Well to be honest all I did was paint them Bronze ( Vallejo model colour ) then with Humbrol black just painted the edges and used cellulose thinners weathered it back then when dry coated with clear, then painted with a brush some Humbrol 74 then with the thinners again dabbed it of until you get the effect you can see. That's it I hope it helps.
