Props/hub installed.

Sensor ball and external tank are on. 2 of 4 props are on. I need a little touch up on the wingtip, and around one of the satcom antennas.

Wow, just wow!

In the ironic LOL category. The holes in the prop hub are too small, so I had to drill them out. Hellfire missiles are getting painted. I really want this finished by Thursday evening.

Beautiful job!

Great, guess wait for the release of this sheet. Available by Nats?

Thanks, my order will go in this weekend. Some cool stuff.

Going to enjoy watching this build.

I tried to find stuff online, not much luck. Do you guys make any modern Marine Corps Pilots? ( Harrier).

My vote is for the Constant Phoenix. 😉

What is next?

I was worried that the resin prop/hub combo would make it a tail dragger, so I drill a hole where the sensor ball will go. I weighed the prop hub and glued 3x the weight in bb's into the nose. Cut the stem off, and drilled the prop hub out so it would take a metal rod. Looks decent (depending on orientation), I may just glue it in-place.

I gave the seat away, but have most of the rest (not convinced the canopy is the correct one ).

Can you put the generic decals on while waiting for the Caracal sheet to come out?

This is the prop hub. This was one of the last two he had, so I am glad to have gotten it, but it's rough. I cut it off the base, and assume the stem needs to be remove too. The bottom is not level, and there bubbles in the resin. Suggestions for mounting it? Cut the stem and glue to the fuselage (props won't be able to rotate). Cut the stem and out a rod in, then use the kits mounting hole. Thoughts?

Decals are on, clear and dull coat are on. Working on(painting) the landing weapons pylons and hell fire missiles. The Hamilton Hobbies prop hub is going to need some work, and I have to decide how to mount the prop assembly to the fuselage. I'll post another in a bit.

Yeah, looked Korean. Too bad you can't ban by IP address.

If true, a big black eye for the Marine Corps. I still think an A2A Harrier is unique enough to be entered into my Que. Headed off to your website to figure what I need to get (understanding the adapters are a few weeks away)

Sniper pod under the belly.

So it could be 7 shootdowns among multiple pilots?

No, AIM-9 is the best. Drones have a low RCS, but a good IR signature so the AIM-9 is best. Gun kills are not easy, and you detonate. being too close to the drone when it detonates.

So a used Revell kit is just as good as a used Hasegawa kit?

Any aftermarket adaptors available?

DVIDS website, a harrier with an AIM-9X on one side and another missile on the right wing, is it an AIM-120?

I use the microscale sol/set, it went into the sol and just "jumped" from the tweezers to my thumb. Static electricity? IDK, it was weird. Found my spare sheet, so I'll fix it on Sunday. Packing for Model Fiesta between chores today.
