Grabbing a seat. Not only for the joy of watching the build but for the dim chance that I might be able to replicate a couple of Ronan's details (in 48th of course!)

Many thanks mates
I think the 1/48th sea harrier fa2 IS far better thanks this so it will be easier to add details.😂

Three days and the fuselage is already attached to the wings! This is a jumping start! 😂

Oh Patrick, no... the kit was started some weeks earlier 😉
Three days is just the time required to see what wrong and what is right 😄

😄 Pfew... I know I'm a slow builder but I got a bit anxious about your building tempo. 😉

In fact, I spent a week retouching the engraving of the panel lines, the engraving is too deep for this scale and often misplaced. The cockpit needs to be redone, as well as the nose landing gear. The ejection seat is to be replaced by a resin seat as well as the outriggers at the wingtip. The fairing on the fin must be corrected, the windshield must be raised. The air intakes are missing behind the canopy ...

@Ronan, thx for pointing the imperfections out. I was already suspicious about these latest Airfix kits. too many details off for that price point imo.

I can only agree. I got the FRS.1 recently and was thoroughly disappointed.
But I am sure Ronan will fix what there is to fix. 🙂

Did you use resin exhausts or did you sand the kits ones into shape?

Many thanks 😉
initially I wanted to put AIM-120 missiles on the exterior pylons but I can't find the right intermediate support: the airfix one is not good and neither is the eduard one so that's why there is no nothing under the exterior pylons

Tibor, you don't wanna know. You really don't.

The answer is there - in case curiosity gets the better of you.

Many thanks, mates 👍
We can do a lot of things with a little brush 😉

Another outstanding build, and never mind the kit's shortfalls 🙂. Well done 👍
