Finn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not the best views of the pylon: with the pod installed: most photos show the strakes with the targeting pod installed. Jari A-10LOADER and Luca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-10LOADER Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Good 'Ole Jari, I knew you'd find something. Unfortunately these are one's I've already found, was hoping for better. I do appreciate your effort however. Steve Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Still looking, here is the gun pod being worked on: Jari A-10LOADER and Luca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’ll be honest, it would take more than an aftermarket seat to get me to buy the kit. It needs a lot of help, and probably cost more than I’d want to get into, even if everything was available.

Finn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 A few more random pics, a snug fit: a couple of views showing the front of the c/l pylon: semi front view: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_U.S._Marine_Corps_AV-8B_Harrier_aircraft_assigned_to_Marine_Attack_Squadron_(VMA)_311_flies_over_Helmand_province,_Afghanistan,_June_10,_2013_130610-M-SA716-103.jpg Jari Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I noticed that the outrigger wheels are actually 1/32 scale (approx) copies of the main wheels. A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) I made a casting of the back section yesterday. I was going to make a mold of the pan as well, but time ran out. I will do that today. I think it will be easier to do the seat in two parts. I hope... My resin pigment is exactly as the kit plastic...

A-10LOADER Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Greetings all, A buddy of mine found these and printed them out for me. At the moment, it's all I've got to go by for the "crossover fairing" so, I figured I'd share. I'm only working on the Harrier when I have down time from the Big Cat. Hopefully Dave Roof will get back to me with something better plus, pics of the center line pylon for the targeting pod as well.

Harold Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I have been tinkering with the seat..here is a rough prototype of the seat cushion. It has a fabric finish, but needs to be smoothed somewhat . otis252, Uncarina, Luca and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This would definitely be a project that needs complete dedication to making it right. I love the Harrier far more than most people, but this would take a massive amount of skill and research to make this thing accurate. The 1/32 one has a whole bunch of issues, but it looks like Trumpeter/Hobbyboss somehow made the kit worse while upscaling it? I didn't know that could happen Matt Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
