My 1/48 Hasegawa AV-8B II Plus re-visited.


Recommended Posts

I started this build some years back and decided to start off with re-doing the kit's bland cockpit. Here's pics of that work from 2005? I've been meaning to re-work my 1st attempt at the improved kit seat but since I'm pressed for time (modeling time is scarce), I'll use the Black Box seat to fill the cockpit. I've got the fuselage glued together and filled some seams but not worth any photos at the moment. Otherwise, I hope to finish this Harrier in time!

And here it is painted. Not super accurate in the MFD buttons but hey, I like it. The seat will be swapped out later so this pic is a little old.

Very nice scratch-building... Very impressive... If you take as much care in building up the rest of the Jump Jet then this will be a head turner for sure :-)

Thanks guys. I've got the Plus nose glued onto the forward fuselage halves and test fit the whole forward section to the rest of the fuselage. The rear deck that fits behind the cockpit doesn't want to fit right so I'll have some sanding to do. Here's the build next to the Monogram offering:
