dmthamade Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hello all!! I have two Trumpeter Harriers to show, one USMC markings from the box. This is the Night Attack boxing. Second build is the Harrier + boxing in Zotz decals Harriers at Sea Italian navy markings, and i add Wolfpack bugeye intakes. I should call this a WIP, as i still need to add weapons. LOTS of bad shape issues with these kits, though the actual build wasn't too bad. Don Out2gtcha and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Beautiful job on these! I did the Pappy Boyington scheme from the Zotz sheet on my harrier; i think it was probably the most frustrating build I've done in a very long time. The finish on your two kits looks much better than mine, you clearly have a lot more patience than i do -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic C.D. Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Great looking Harriers! I've got one of these in my stock and hope to start it one of these days. I like the Italian version with the wolf-steps on the vertical tail. And the weathering looks spot on! Any chance of having some detail of the nose of the kits?

Babelfish Steve Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The modern low-viz "you can paint it any colour as long as it's grey" schemes don't usually do much for me, but I really like the finish on these. What were the kits like to build? - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 The kit itself wasn't too bad to do, the intake/forward fuselage/main fuselage took a bit of planning to do. I left the engine assembly out, found an easy way to attach the nozzles. The front fan was attached to the nose subassembly and made fitting it a little easier since it didn't have to align with the engine assembly. I do have construction pics as i did most of my builds in Group builds on another site. I could post some build picks.... Nic C.D., did you want pics of the noses?
