FreightDog Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I had hoped to record building the Flightpath Houchin GPU unit as well as the Harrier, but it was by far the hardest thing I've tried to assemble, and I never really knew when I'd finished each stage as I had to keep re-doing everything. Oh well. Displayed on 2x Coastal kits vinyl bases. Only extras used on the Harrier were some Airscale decals for cockpit gauges and Flying Leathernecks det cord. I’m aware the loadout is inaccurate for an RAF Harrier, particularly Snakeyes with laser Mavs. I’ve never seen an RAF Harrier without fuel tanks but it’s my favourite mount in DCS (those who know, know ;-) so I’ve done a fictitious what-if. I also think the GPU is probably too old a model but was the only type I could find so I’ve gone to town on the ageing, as opposed to the jet which I tried to be subtle on as they all looked quite clean in real life? Lost the 2(?) supplied rear view mirrors at some point probably when fighting the det cord. Thanks for looking.

Damn I miss this aircraft! Mark M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael931080 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I like that! And yes I can concur with the DCS quote! FreightDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic C.D. Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Your Harrier looks really good! I really like the paint job, the metal finish on the engine nozzles and I have to say that the photos are pretty good too! Congratulations!

frank83 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Great looking Harrier. I don't think there is any problems about a RAF Harrier and Mavs together. FreightDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Harrier’s have such character. I like what you’ve done with this one, the base, starter cart, and light weathering. FreightDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
