Nice choice Ian. You could do the GR7 here and the FA2 for the Fleet Air Arm SIG build starting May. That way you won't get Harrier'd out

'May join in'. Haven't you got a box of bits crying out to be turned into a Sunderland somewhere ?

Nice start Ian.

[colin m]

Nice start indeed. It's funny to see how different manufacturers make the same model. Hasegawa jet nozzles are one piece and the whole cockpit is separate.

[papa 695]

Thanks Joe

And Colin I know what you mean

[papa 695]

Got a little more done on this one

Still some work to do on the jet nozzels [ATTACH]81554.IPB[/ATTACH]

The pilots sure sit high in those later Harriers. Nice job Ian.

[Guest]

Very nice Ian. I think the Harrier could get close to being a favourite in the model making fraternity. Just a beautiful looking aircraft. The Fleet Air Arm museum had an early one one hanging from the ceiling when I visited some time back. A great read is Commander "Sharky" Ward's experience down in the Falklands.
