K5054NZ Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hi all, This is a “what if?” build I’ve been thinking about for a long time – what if the West Germans had stuck with the Kestrel Tripartite Test Squadron and Dornier had licence-built Harriers for the Luftwaffe? This build was made possible by the generous gift of an ESCI 1/72 AV-8A from a member of another forum, with decals scrounged from a Heller 1/72 Fouga Magister and a Revell 1/72 Eurofighter (stencils are the original ESCI). The bomb and SNEB pods came from my spares, otherwise it’s OOB. This is the Hawker Siddeley-Dornier Harrier GR.1B, marketed internationally by HS as the Mk.20. I hope you like this little trip into alternate history!

K5054NZ Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks folks! After consulting a few Alpha Jet kit instructions online I decided on Tamiya XF-63 German Grey and Gunze H303 FS34102 for the camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Good one Zac! Way to knock one out of the park! (Homerun) It is a very plausible "whiffie," indeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
