Hasegawa 1/72 Boeing AV-8B Harrier II


Recommended Posts

Build 1 of 2021 is a 99% out of the box build of the AV-8B Harrier II. The 1% is the scratchbuilt yaw vane indicator forward of the canopy and weapons from the Hasegawa weapons sets. WP-03 appears with the stores she carried in the bridge attack sequence in the movie True Lies. 🙂

 

I managed to settle all the fit problems except the canopy. Not really happy how that one turned out. Also, part of the 'MARINES' decal tore so I had to replace it with a darker alternate. Otherwise, all acrylics and weathering with oil paints.

Nice build!

I wish to see miniature  Mr. Harry  Tasker in the cockpit as well as his daughter hanging on windshield.

 

Thanks! Harry already took the other Harrier to rescue his daughter 😄
