vingtor Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Very nice model of the YAV-8B om today's (6 May) main page. I would not trust "Viginator Decals" though. Being the manufacturer of Vingtor Decals, I suspect "Viginator" is a pirate manufacturer :) Nils Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f86esabre Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This is a great looking model. Where was photo 5 taken? The white harrier. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the kind words. Nils, Sincere apologies for the typo! Kudos for the decals; they worked great!!! Plan more (not the Harrier...too much work!) Steve, The first prototype is now at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. Not sure if it is on normal display. Believe it is part of their air camp. Ken took those pics for me a few years ago. Edited May 7, 2017 by Chorse6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It is indeed in the Aviation Challenge compound at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. It was a nice sight when I attended the camp several years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraigSargent Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Nice to see you got this finished. Mine progressed considerably since those last updates elsewhere, but I am trying to find out more info about the cockpit layout to get it correct. Like you I used the Hasegawa engine deck heavily modified. Glad my articles were of use and nice end result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Glad to see you've made progress, Craig! Curious if you finished. Thanks again for your assistance. I couldn't find anything, especially for the time frame. I presumed it was closer to an A than a B, so I didn't use the B panel. My buddy couldn't get photos of the cockpit of the Harrier in Huntsville, but even then, it was heavily modified over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Wow, I never seen a model of this before. Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
