Harri-Hog!

more photos with wing attached
remeber this is all from my scrap chest only so some parts are not exactly "normal!"

This is the best kind of styrene insanity.  I think it would look cool in near-black with deep grey tiger stripes but that's just me.  Looking forward to more!

I love the idea of the cool look but the other way around as i have a set of markings from a tiger strip EH101 in my stash

this aircraft uses a new development of the Pegasus 7 which has a RR Trent 8104 as a core giving some 117,00 lbf of thrust compared to the normal 28,000 lbf thrust of the normal Pegasus 6 fitted to the harrier gr9

Jeepers! It not so much takes-off vertically as shoves the Earth the other way!!

Should be a great airshow performer.......

Nice i like it 

[lenny100]

sorry mis-type should have read 41,700 lbf not 117.00lbf

I never imagine the course you're taking, but I think you've stepped it up on the coolness level meter.

Great job of a great profile! Looks like this is going to be a very cool build Lenny. 

[Sisko]

Wow it looks so right!

I have a 1/48th HOG kit at home gives me some very evil ideas!

[lenny100]

unfortunately i have hit a brick wall with this build ( can't find the canopy) so this weekend at the northern model show i will be looking for a 1/48 a10 and try to build it again in a larger scale
I already have a 1/48 harrier so its not so bad
pity as it was coming along fine, I wont be scraping the work i have done up to know as i my find the canopy at a future date.
i cant remember which kit it is so sorry

Bummer - it's a bubble canopy, so will nothing else fit? Meteor? Mustang?

[lenny100]

i have come up with a solution and also a great display
i will use this as part of a Sig display showing the profile by JP
this model in is present state as a work in progress with a knife and spare parts around it and the finished 1/48 scale kit on one board with the groups logs etc and if i have permission from the senior members a collection tine for "combat stress"

Ah, terrible.  I do have a 1/48 hog canopy in my parts bin somewhere.  If you do tackle it in 1/48 and need something, I may have it, FYI.

Also, the question brought up about the gas-ingestion from the gun has a simple answer.  On the A-10 stick, the trigger has 2 detents, the first activates some sort of igniters in the engines, the second detents fires the gun.

Lenny - you could scratch a windscreen frame and then drape a tarpaulin over over it, thus negating the need for a canopy.  I've got a picture in one of my GW1 books with a Saudi Hawk just like that after the canopy was removed following "damage"

[Vulcan7]

Great idea Lenny....its gonna look the business 

[lenny100]

Got the parts today at the northen show so next week whilst i am in hospital i will be working on it
