twong Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Here is my latest kit. Like the title says it is a Monogram 1/48 Harrier. I rescribed it and used Superscale decals. The bombs are from the Monogram 1/48 F-4J and the TER's are from Hobbycraft 1/48 A-4. The Harrier went together pretty well with minor filling. The biggest problem was the canopy. The main piece was warped and didn't fit when trying to close it up that is why I chose to have an open canopy. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mkimages Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Nice looking build. I like the heavy loadout; it gives it a cool, menacing look. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eric2020 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 very nice Harrier!!!! :D What colours did you use?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 very nice Harrier!!!! What colours did you use?? Thanks Eric, I used MM enamels FS35237 and FS36375. Thanks guys! The loadout idea came from the Gulf Air War Journal by World AirPower books. They show a three view showing the Harrier with a similar loadout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Terence, great looking Harrier II ... We don't see to many of the late 80s/early 90s AV-8Bs built much anymore so seeing yours is refreshing ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twong Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks guys! Gregg, I needed a DS aircraft on my shelf to sit next to the OIF and OEF aircraft I did earlier and figured why not a Harrier from DS 91. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Flyingfortress, Mine had a slight lip. I used filler and sanded to shape. The Monogram AV-8B's are really nice. This one was my third. The other two have Amraam Line AV-8B II+ conversions. I built them before I got the Hasegawa versions. The Hasegawa Harriers seem over engineered but they do look really nice built up. For the price of the Monogram Harrier though you really can't beat it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
