This is an awesome build!!! I have a general question about the F-4, I guess, hoping someone can answer. With the nose cone being hinged like that, it does not look like there would be enough clearance for it to swing shut. And then after I typed that, I wondered if this is representing everything being pulled forward for maintenance or something.
Spot on..The radar retracts

I know I am late to the party, but wow, that is yet another stunner from you, I bow in respect and awe. What scale is this anyway, too me, it looks like 1/12 scale (seriously its that detailed). I will be in awe at 32, falling over at 35th, calling 911 if 48 scale, and my wife will inform you of my early passing if the kit is 72nd. Finally, if the scale is 1/144,I will roll right out of my coffin and surprise everyone at my funeral!
Not at all, it's 1:48

Completed before the house move, this is off to the backseat as it depicts his farewell flight. The Hasegawa kit performed beautifully with an Aires and Eduard cockpit upgrade. Painted with Vallejo.

Not sure if it is extended or just a scale issue to be honest. I do know they do extend out for servicing

Super job

I loved building this as part of my model clubs group build: T101 (101 years of Tangmere Airfield). XV408 is currently resident at Tangmere Military Aircraft Museum, which is home to my club: Tangmere Sector Modellers IPMS. It is being lovingly restored to its most famous 'blue' scheme that 92Sqn had done in homage to the blue Hunters that the Squadron used for their display team.
This is the Hasegawa 'blue special' kit with Aires resin cockpit, Radar, electronics bay, allycat seamless intakes, scratch built parachute compartment (and other bits). Painted with Vallejo Model Air insignia blue.
101 will be at Scale Model World, so please come and see us.

Finally I can post this build. The Eduard Ltd Edition Harrier GR 7 using the Hasegawa moulds and a spot of Eduard magic makes this kit one of my all time favourites: and I am honoured the build made it into November's issue of Airfix Model World. Here are a few more pics that didn't make it into the publication..
