BU_Terrier Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm interested in building a 1/32 Trumpeter Harrier... I'm not to concerned on specific jets. I'm curious if Trumpeter fixed any of the shape issues in the later models. I remember reading when the first Harrier was release that it had all kinds of mis-shape issues. I'm not a rivet counter, but would like it to be pretty correct in shape and dimensions. I will admit my skills are not up to snuff to start cutting styrene to majorly change the delivered product. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 never knew there was a shape issue. Looks like the best Harrier out there to my eyes gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. I haven't heard that they fixed anything other than adding the missing Sidewinder rails and plugging the cannon opening in the right gun pod in boxings other than the original AV-8B kit. I think all the common shape issues remain the same. Edited November 12, 2012 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reading that thread, it looks like he used a replacement resin nose, not the kit nose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Your correct Dave in that build. Would of loved to have got Pierro's stuff but he released in on the quiet after saying he'd have a big run! At least Wolfpack have come to the rescue with BOL rails and other bits. I'll drag out my early Harrier and compare I remember someone saying they reduced the curve of the upper nose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
