1/72 British Aerospace Harrier GR.9A
This build is going to be one straight out of the box, if I had it. Binned it when moving house but kept the back for painting/decals ect.
The kit comes as ZD327 based from RAF Cottesmore from the Naval Joint Wing in 2010.
I will be keeping it as ZD327 but not using the Joint Wing decals, instead it will be from its time in Kandahar during Operation Herrick.

The nose section of the fuselage went together very nicely, no adjustments or filler needed.

The rest of the fuselage fitted like a glove. There are bits of detail from the turbine. On the painting I havn't gone for neatness but rather attempting to show a bit of wear as you would expect in those conditions.
That's all for now.

A bit more done. It now looks like a Harrier.

I have gone for a bit of wear ad discolouration. Hopefully the black will show through once it is painted.

Re: 1/72 British Aerospace Harrier GR.9A
The last bit of detailing on the Harrier is now done. Its just a case of wait for the paint to dry on the weapons to be able to add them then put the decals on.
This is how it looks at the moment.

Thanks Patrick.
That's my first attempt at bringing out the lines.
I will do, not long now before it's complete.

Re: 1/72 British Aerospace Harrier GR.9A
Its finally complete. I have to say not a bad little kit, definitely worth a buy.
There weren't any issues with the kit other than you might want to invest in some aftermarket decals just to give it that bit more of a detailed finish.
