seiran01 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's hard to stress how glad I am to get this kit finished. It's still disappointing after all these years that Trumpeter made so many errors with accuracy and fit/design of their harrier series. Considering how well engineered most large scale trumpeter kits are (in my opinion), the annoyance caused by the following led me to shelf this build many time, and probably also are the reason that I can count on one hand how many of these kits I've seen completed: exhaust nozzles HUD gear wells (especially nose well) exhaust nozzles again gaps in intake where front fuselage plugs in ejector pin marks in intake fit of intakes to fuselage exhaust nozzles LERX being hollow underneath and yes, again, the exhaust nozzles. he Zotz decals are simply superb. I liked them so much that I actually used two whole sets of the decals on the plane! Granted, I didn't clear coat before decalling the first time so silvering was everywhere, but I don't think Eli will complain that he got an extra sale out of me! Thanks for looking Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 That didn't turn out to bad Mike! I can't see what all the complaining was I must say... I think this is the second Harrier that I have seen completied. Good Work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamme Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hello Mike. Even with the problems, it's a really nice build of a really ugly (in my opinion) plane. Congrats, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Who doesn't love a Harrier - even if it is the Trumpy one with its associated problems? Mike, you'd never have known those issues existed looking at your build ... It looks wonderful ! Cracking build, just cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
