    Rick’s 1/72 Harrier hide - Harrier GR3, 4 Sqn Royal Air Force Germany.

    I finished this last year. This was made using the Airfix Harrier and Bedford MK refueller, the Unimog is a repurposed Wiking model. The clutter was from various spares and railway extras. I decided not to do any camouflage netting so the scene am be viewed better.
    Extras for the Harrier include resin seat, fin, decals and RBF pennants. I found a reference photo showing one of the techy’s jacket hanging from one of the pylons; I replicated this with painted tissue.
    Enjoy.

    Very, very well done indeed. That's a great scene very well put together.

    Lots going on and yet not looking over cluttered.

    Nice to see a Bedford too. My dad either for them for over 25 years until they went out of business.

                Great work. It took me back to being a kid again, seeing photo's of similar scenes of the day.

                    Wow JR! Biggest Dogs award I’ve seen and well deserved too. Does Matron know you took this young man?
