Thanks..

 

This kit is definitely not for the novice or mid-ranged modeler - it's a beast and that's coming fro someone who used to actually build war planes for a living.

Very nice James and it's brought back memories of a spotty teenager [me] building the then new release 1/24 Hawker Harrier. This was way before the Falklands war that made it's name. I wouldn't mind another go. Gorgeous kits from Airfix. You need to do the mossie too.

I built (and still have) the 1/24 Scale Harrier (GR3 version), it's a lovely kit - built while I was working a Dunsfold. I also remember seeing a GR3 fuselage from the Falklands War - I can't remember the number, just the story..

 

She encounter heavy flak from the Argies, a 12 inch hole passing behind the engine (went through Frame 39 - load bearing) and made it back to ship - Hermes I think.

 

I had an Airfix 1/24 Scale Spitfire VB arrive today (eBay bargain)  - much simpler than the Typhoon, I'm going to do the clipped wing version.
