GSymmonds Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Some pics from my just finished Harrier GR.7 in arctic camouflage – one of my favorite paint schemes. I went for a harrier in the hover just before landing so it’s propped up on a ¼” acrylic rod (with brass tubing in the body of the harrier itself, and I extended the struts on the landing gear and needed to have all the intake doors open (luckily found the CAT 4 intakes – not only does it allow all doors to be open, it really does smooth out the interfaces with the fuselage. Painted with Mr. Color/Hataka lacquers for the Dark Sea Grey and Dark Camouflage Grey then the white is MIG Washable White Camo – an acrylic. There was a lot of masking and re-masking with the camo scheme – plus the masking for the stencils so it was fairly intensive. Used the following details: Metallic Details Harrier GR Mk 7/9 Detailing Set Reskit Harrier GR.7/GR.9/AV-8B Wheels Set Master Model NATO Standard Refueling Probe Phase Hangar AV-8B/GR.5/7/9 Harrier Canopy Det Cord CMK Kits Harrier GR.7/AV-8B Harrier II Flaps CAT 4 AV-8B Super Harrier Intakes Phase Hangar Modern RAF Pilot Figure Metallic Details GR7/GR9 swiveling nozzles and outrigger wheels DN Models Arctic Camouflage Paint Masks for BAE Harrier GR.7/9 Coastal Kits Winter Forest 02 Base & Backdrop Set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
