I have just got an airfix 1/24 Gr3 harrier all to do is find space for it.Peter t

I have this one pete and the amount of cutting I have to do to get it the way I want has scared me a little lol,

I want to build the GR3 version with tha engine showing and not only do I have to cut the nose off but I have to cut a huge hole under the wings so when you remove the top cover you can see all the engine

Not an easy thing to do from my perspective !

Here's all of the 1/24 kits currently sold by Hannants

(Hannants aren't necessarily the cheapest, but their website is a good resource to see what's available at a glance).

Wow! I don't know exactly why...but I never think it was this extend range O_o

Wow been browsing that link and they do some great stuff!

Although why are all 1:24 planes military? Only one that was was a trophy race sea plane at £210 on hannants website! Yet others 1:440 or 1:72 etc?

I think the main reason is down to size.

The military stuff on the market is pretty small, 18 inch wing span, maybe upto 2 ft long.

I'd love to build a large scale Concord, trouble is it'd be huge.....

There's a 1/72 kit available but even at that scale it's well over 1.2m long!

[Guest]

So due to 1:1 military planes being small the scale is different to make the model similar size to others? Didn't think about that!

For the SIG then can I build a spitfire but not in camo?

I can't see there'd be a problem re how you paint one, long as it's 1/24 scale

I've been looking at the Mustang P-51 but as an Excalibur replica

[Guest]

this one lol

I will let Polux reply to that one. A civilian spitfire.... Hmm could be interesting...

Yes, I remember back in the 70's Nichimo released a Hughes 500 helicopter and a Cessna 172 in 1/20 scale, apparently both really nice kits for their time. They go for outrageous prices on eBay. And Hasegawa do that amazing 1/16 Sopwith Camel.
