Whilst at the HARRIER FAREWELL Party, I had the pleasure of meeting Nick Greenall and the INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC MODELLERS SOCIETY (UK) HARRIER SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP.

The guys are ALL Harrier fans and have produced a table full of wonderful models.



A 1/48th scale Sea Harrier FRS1 in the early colour scheme.


A 1/48th scale Sea Harrier FRS1 in Falklands invasion colours.


A 1/24th scale Sea Harrier FRS1 in commerative colours.


A very heavily modified Airfix 1/24th scale kit turned into a very impressive T10.



A 1/48th scale Revell kit modified to represent a current T10.


More to follow!

[Olicat]

those GR3's look nice, how big (roughly) were they?

[Sooty655]

those GR3's look nice, how big (roughly) were they?

Roughly one twentyfourth the size of a Harrier.

Seriously, the crew are about 3 inches tall (or 75mm in modern eurospeak).

[Olicat]

Thats huge!

[Xplumberlives]

Oli, if you look at the picture of a Sea Harrier in 1/24th scale and that is based upon the same kit you will see the model makers hand in shot and that should give you an idea of the size!

[Cluny]

Now they are very nice
Must add a big Harrier to my to do pile

Did you remember to add it to your Christmas Wish List?

[Cluny]

No , but I am getting a Shorts Stirling , a Fairey Battle and a Catalina

[Olicat]

New Airfix 1:72 version, if it is then its on my list too

But why no 1:48 Cvix?

[Lucas1860]

Some really good stuff there Dave.

[Cluny]

Now that I have my internet back

But why no 1:48 Cvix?

Because I have 1 in 1:72 that I have been building for months

As you can see from the tail booms and fuselage pod , its rapidly depleating my filler stocks

[Olicat]

Ah, is that kit any good?

[Cluny]

Yes and no , detail is very good but the parts fit is appalling
Its the limited production Xtrakit kit if you want to know

[Olicat]

Yeah i thought it might be, some reviews didnt seem to like it though

[Lucas1860]

For your C &C

The F111









Many thanks and Merry Christmas.

Jim

[Olicat]

[Xplumberlives]

Great models Jim, why did you build four all the same?

[Lucas1860]

I see you are on form tonight dave

[Xplumberlives]

Nice to see one with a load of bombs mate!

[Lucas1860]

I think the beef factor comes out with a loads of bombs.

[Olicat]
