    ESCI 1/72 Sea Harrier

    Finished at last. Generally a nice kit, but there are several small parts that don't have any locating points, and the instructions are a bit vague in places.

    The scheme is for the 899th RNAS at Yeovilton, so I'll leave it clean.

    Hi Peter
    That's a great result. Esci are not the best of kits but you've managed to build a really fine model.

      I think you’ve achieved a cracker there Pete. Nice work.

        Looking good. I didn’t realise the Harrier is an old enough plane that it already operated off pre-ironclad aircraft carriers, though

          Great result Pete. This kit has withstood the years, despite it's fit issues.

            Looks great! I read somewhere that the Esci kit is the most accurate 1/72 SHAR kit out there, which is surprising given its age.

                    Nice job Peter. I do love to see a Harrier.
