1/24 Vintage Harrier GR.1 - I'll try to finish :)

So...it's brand new. I don't know If it'll be what if or "normal" but as long as it could carry Sidewinders in real life then I hope I can take part in GB

I can't find any wires so I had to start with seat cushion. Also, strange empty space below HUD/gunsight had been sealed. Throttle nozzle quadrant was upgraded with two pieces of styrene. Now...where are those wires...

I couldn't find good photos of all these buttons so I painted them with some freedom

Seems weird that there’s so much missing information related to the Harrier  Can’t wait to see if you do a what if or a recreation!

I'm so long into whatiffs that it's difficult to not think about different schemes for my models So this will be what-if. NAVY one

Cockpit work looks amazing for that old kit. Thanks for sharing your work.

Next stop - exhausts. Painted them black and dirtied with pigments by looking on photos of museum Harriers.
