Nice kit of an aircraft that was withdrawn far to early, rotor blades behind the pilots seat so still keeping to your theme.

Coming along nicely. I've got the FRS.1 to build which I'll finish with decals for a Falklands Conflict aircraft. It will now go on the backburner as you're doing this one.

The cockpit added to the fuselage and all the weapons pylons fitted.

I'll see what I can do. I could start mine whilst waiting for sections of the Messerschmitt to cure?

Undercarriage and various doors fitted.

Looks like a bad landing - should it not be the other way round - hohoho - great work

Yes, I shall have to paint all the ordnance before fitting.

Does the kit include decals for the Sidewinders? I've got some spare if you need them.

I'll look at the sheet. If they are too small I'll ignore them anyway. Thanks Chris.

Completed. A pretty good model. The parts all fitted together nicely. Some decals were missed off.
The first picture is before all the weaponry was added.

That is a really nice Harrier!
A lovely build Chris, nice and crisp.
It may be a nice kit, but a good modeller makes it as good as this.
