Some pics of the Eduard 1/32 Brimstone sets

Dies anyone's engine nozzle actually fit? The resin one I have us a good 1-2mm too small??

Good luck, when I contacted her before the s bit missing in the T4 Jag she suggested I buy a kit and she'd pop the spare part in the box!!

How about a Saudi GR4? https://www.planespotters.net/photo/148046/6612-royal-saudi-air-force-panavia-tornado-gr4 Problems with moral use recently mind you!

I've some spare GBU12's from my Trumpter harrier if you want them?

pretty much all the pylons were the wrong shape and needed making thicker or longer , bits filling in oe re-profiling etc

One more of the seat: Nose on, engine in and sub assemblies coming together Coming together even at my snails pace!

I've started a new WIP thread and started adding a few more pics. Will add more later

The now discontinued Eduard sets:

next was the front nose replacement Piero#s master for the new nose A little fettling and filling followed by re-scribing (some too deep ) of the adjacent panel lines... Around this time I was also lucky to pick up a pair of Tim Perry's CBLS100 Practice Bomb carriers Prior to varnish and decals:

OK this is going to be a little odd in that I have already posted the finished model and have been asked to post a few WIP pics... So this is 9or was) the 1/32 Trumpter Harrier GR7, a woefully inaccurate model with little or no changed to anglicise the kit to a UK Harrier II GR7 model as badged.... The nose was had a completely incorrect profile, the gun pods were the wrong size, the pylons the wrong shape as were the external tanks. Most of the weapons fit was for a US harrier and so was the cockpit and seat. back in 2011 a chap called Perio De Santis did a GR7 build on Brit Modler, he also produced a short run resin accessory set that included a new nose with improved profile, correct FLIR faring and ZEUS Aerials. He added the new BOL launch rail/chaff dispensers, the missing center line pylon and a couple of bits for a later GR9. I was lucjy to pick up a set along with another modllers work on correct fronts for the external tanks (the kit ones are completely the incorrect profile.) Not my pic BTW but shows the new resin front and correct tank profile... Next was the revision to the cockpit and i elected for the Eduard PE internal set and IIC the Wolfpack Mk12h Seat

Thank you all for the lovely comments, I'd imagine it would be better to start a separate build thread? (Although a bit back to front!) I was looking at some of my pics and its taken some time to Ahem, complete this model...I started in it 2011! And yes it would be a pleasure to feature on the website... Steve

I've a few in progress shots so could possibly do a build article in reverse so to speak?

Thought I'd dive in head first with what is probably my first LSP post! I've recently finished my Trumpeter 1/32 Harrier GR7 of IV(AC) Sqn RAF Laarbruch, Germany in 1994 (I served on this Sqn and worked on this aircraft) The kit is woefully inaccurate but with the help of serious amounts of resin extras (from a fellow modeller on BM) I hope I've been able to create a quite reasonable model of the real thing. Paints are all Tamiya XF-81 Dark green 2 RAF for the top sides and XF-71 Cockpit Green for the undersides. Resin or Brass: Nose section, BOL rails, BL755 Cluster Bombs, CBU87B/B Cluster Bombs, 48KvA GPU, Oxygen Trolly, Tow bar, CBLS100 Practice Bomb carriers, Flare pack, Wheels, Eduard Interior & Exterior sets, new fuel tank fronts (to correct shape), AIM9L Acquisition rounds. Decals are kit, spares box, custom printed, or the large set by Airframe. All panel lines were rescribed (some maybe a little heavily) and the pylons corrected in shape and fit, gun-pods were resized, re-scribed and detailed. Canopy MDC is also an add on (can't remember who) It's literally hundreds of hours of work over two years as I had a massive hiatus from modelling of 10+ years... Anyway, on to a few pics: Hope you enjoy Steve

David's stuff is in my opinion, some of the finest aftermarket detail available. Thease are some of his CBU-87b/b units in 1/32 Steve
