my favs are F`s Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It`s just about finished, only some final and polishing touches are remaining, and the Harrier should be absolutely ready soon. :) It comes to the Eduard`s Harrier in 1/48 and I finished with the assembly just about a week ago. I do it in conjunction with Mitko and the ready model will be published on Mitko`s blog first (@DNmodels), along with the full assembly and a full build video. :)) Sounds nice, but it`s not ready yet. So check out his blog. And here is the trailer of the build. There are nearly 20 "things" that do something... rotate, turn, open... to make 3 transformable displays out of this model - on the ground/parked mode; one in a VTOL mode; and one flying in the air. It was quite an adventure, but i think that it will turn out into my best model so far. I plan to use oil paints for the first time, with new special brushes, and some semi-gloss lacquer too. It is not finished yet, but I think that I could open the topic in this section. Just a couple of photos from today: They look like a small teaser :P I`ll post updates when the Harrier is ready. Only the decals are done so far. It`s a beautiful Harrier... mm, not my favorite plane, but it`s gut, it`s gut, and this tail with the Lorraine Cross is just magnificent.

shan Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 wow, very nice, cant wait to see it finished. Hope to see a full weapons load!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Mm, just a little bit more than the usual - three bombs and one targeting pod, which along with the oob missiles and fuel tanks can be mounted on the innermost and/or outermost pylons. But definitely it's more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marv Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Do the blow-in doors move? If not, it appears the configuration is for on-the-ground, static display, with engine off. I viewed the excellent video, and it showcases your excellent scratchbuilding skills. Congratulations on a great build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thank you Marv! The aux blow-in doors are static, but, well... too small :)) There is definitely some "what-if" component in the build like VTOL with bombs and a targeting pod. I`m starting the weathering holiday today and plan to make it a little bit more weathered than the original anniversary plane. The pilot`s hand is off the control stick... the front (cold) nozzles can rotate to at least -20 degrees... and there are some other imperfections too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 The Harrier is ready. It`s definitely my best model so far and a lot of it is thanks to Mitko. :) He should post more pics/video on his blog, so follow the dnmodels blog. Here are just a couple of photos after the initial photo session: With daylight: And in VTOL mode. This photo is with nightlights and the colors look quite different: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 The full build video is here. :) Tune yourself to some reggae and chillhop, and check it out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 This an absolutely sickening display of master craftsmanship and skill. I spent the whole hour with my jaw on the floor and shaking my head in disbelief. My good sir, you are a true genius. I bow to your skill and patience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
