Tomcat RIO Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) much is little known about the dragon's little harriers, so i decided to build them. as with most dml series, panel lines are abit sharp and neat, flash is kept minimal but still present. quite worth the us$9 i paid for them. the bad thing is that u have to cut off the nose and fit in the new one of the gr7. this is because it was probably and obviously a re run of a us marine corps harrier av-8b mould. and if you follow the instructions, you gonna get a stunted nose. which is what happened for my 1st one. for the 2nd one, i cut about 3 mm ahead of the windscreen tip, so the new nose is quite flush. fitting is quite poor, esp for the lerxes. lots of putty are required the nose has been chopped off. note the mistake i did on the 1st one putty of the lerxes and wing. in reality the gap is not so bad. i just slapped extra - just to make sure most of the excess putty was sanded off, followed by rubbing with acetone based thinner and cotton bud for final finish. primed with tamiya sky grey.

devil505 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I built a few of the DML harriers. Nice little kits but I sure didn't try to convert any of them. Good looking builds you have there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
