Hi Dondy, Yes the intake aux doors,the small avionics doors are open with power on to cool the avionics. Nice cockpit by the way,you are a brave man building two of these beasts. All the best and happy christmas Andy

Hi Dondy, The German ones must be odd then as when I was on GR1,s one of the pre flight checks was to check the doors sprung back when pushed.I have checked all my references and can't find one photo which shows them open when not running.

Hi Dondy, Nice builds mate,just one pointer though,are you displaying the one with the aux air doors open running? On the real aircraft they are spring loaded shut and only open when the engines are running. Hope this helps Andy

Hi Julien, My thoughts exactly,where is the kit? I for one gain inspiration by knowing I could have a go at building what I see.Nick Greenall,s superb 1/24 Sea Harrier was the reason I joined the Harrier SIG,and I am having a go at building that kit.Maybe a catagory for scratchbuilt models should be included in the competition and give the more normal modellers a chance to win,then there might be more entries as this years turn out was a bit poor. Hi Liam, suhttp://gregers.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2284 Try this link. Cheers Andy

A look at the SIG displays might tell you why.I myself built two Harriers for our sig which took four and a half months,so I had no time to build a competition model.The standard on some of the SIG and club displays was outstanding and much more interesting than the competition tables.Also the person that won overall built one model,specifically to win the competition,and although a work of art,was not from a kit which us mere mortels could build.My own favorite was the ME262 that won the Trumpeter competition,well done to the lady that built it.

U/c posted today. Cheers Andy

Hi Jake, Superb work mate the level of detail is awesome,wish I was that good now never mind at 17. Will you be going to Telford,if so you could give me a few tips on the way you make those switches and consoles.Keep up the good work. All the best Andy

Hi Nigel £1.50 will cover it, my address is Andrew Shaw Saplings Lychgate Park Copplestone Devon EX17 5JT could you send me your address. Cheers Andy

:( Nigel, If you want a 1/72 set of u/c I have a set from an AIM Nimrod I built with the wheels up.If you will cover the postage they are yours. All the best Andy :huh:

:blink: Hi Jake, Superb work mate and a great help for anyone building this kit.I'm building the FRS1 at the moment but will do an FA2 as well,and I corrected the cockpit in the same way.Will she be ready for the SIG display at SMW? if so I look forwards to seeing her in the flesh. All the best Andy
