Erdferkel Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 So, was oce was started as a build to overcome the time between christmas and new years evening, was finished today :lol: It's the Hasegawa Gr.5 in 1:72 scale. I build it mainly oob, just some minor scratchbuilding in the cockpit area was involved. The decals provided by the kit were just perfect for me, as they depict an Harrier of the RAF Germany. So I used them, and they were very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erdferkel Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 For the main colors I used Xtracolor for the first time. Looking good, and are easy to work with. The white parts were done with Tamiya flat white. I did some minor weathering to the landing gear as they seem to be always dirty... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erdferkel Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 I did not do any scratch building to do a "real" Gr.5, as I had no real idea were to put all the lumps and bumps. Nevermind, I made enough mistakes. The white of the intakes is overdone, should end furtherdown the intake, and the droptanks are misaligned. I always have problems with this, does anyone has a solution? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erdferkel Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 The noozles were weathered with orange and blue Crayola water based paint. Somebody here postet the instructions for this, and it looks like the real thing. :lol: to the unknown ARC member for providing this tip. So, now it's up to you to find more mistakes I have done :lol: :lol: Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The glue can gradually set but the tank is held in the correct position by the wire plug. Nice model and I like the Nato/Litchen green combination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
