Thanks all for looking. Right now, my SHAR sits on top of my aquarium with a Seafire and I find it kind of strange that the wings of the SHAR and Seafire both have very similar angles of attack, bearing mind that the Seafire is a tail dragger. I can't think of any other jet aircraft that has wings where the trailing edge is so much lower than the leading edge ( a function of the landing gear heights, well except a RN phantom) Of course this must have something to do with the Harriers' STOL capabilities, but even so, it still looks like it's ready to pounce.

Great build Colin. I know how tricky these Harriers are to build, you've done an amazing job. I am just starting the white on mine, same unit same period, different aircraft though. Apparently not an easy kit the Hasegawa Sea Harrier, but you have made a great job of it. Any chance of an underside shot please?

Joe, I missed it out totally ! next time it's not raining, I'll sort one or two out.

Again, thanks everyone, now a step into the Great war awaits me.

Hi Colin

The Harrier looks great and in 1/72 too. The finesse of the finish makes this look like a 1/48 build. I'm pretty impressed with the kit too it looks a very good 1/72 model.

The paint finish is just right IMO and very neatly applied (not easy in 1/72 which tends to show off every minuscule error)

Lovely work and a gong for sure
