Glenn R Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi All, Here's the second of my Harrier conversions, a two seater. This is once again, converted from the old Revell 1/32 Harrier kit. I found this a much easier conversion than the P1127 although it may look more radical. The colour scheme is of the Hawker/ Siddley demonstrator, G-VTOL, which was very short lived as the aircraft had an accident a couple of weeks later. It was repaired, but was repainted in a desert sand scheme. I personally prefer the original, how about you? Here are the P1127 and G-VTOL together for comparison. Regards, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Brilliant work as usual Glenn. I hadn't seen the G-VTOL build before, but it's a stunner! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 It would've been nice to see it in that scheme, saw it many many times in the desert one. Very nice paint job on the Kestrel, not to say the conversion of both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Glad "avro683" only found this thread after a year, because i was "desperately" looking for this thread on the two-seater Harrier, and couldn't find it. Thanks, it really looks good. What conversion did you use for the two-seater Glenn? HTH Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What conversion did you use for the two-seater Glenn? HTH Jack. Hi, The conversion is scratchbuilt, the masters being carved from balsa wood and then vac-formed. Regards, Glenn.

Jack Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 ok, that's impressive, i was planning to do this conversion with a vacform kit i have laying around, thinks it's an ID conversionkit, but i'm not sure. What documentation did you use to build up the cockpit interior? J;O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J;O) Hi, My cockpit references came from various magazine cuttings I have accumulated over the years. Try 'Harrier' by F.K. Mason for references on the two-seat conversion, nose extension, etc. Regards, Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
