chrisonord · March 27, 2011, 06:22:07 PM

Is there anyone that makes in1/72nd scale the upgrade AV-8 B+ Harrier radar nose. I have a couple of the bog stock av-8b's and a + version and would like to make the others into the radar nosed + version.
Cheers,
Chris.

Sounds like time to find a friendly Whiffer who can make moulds and stuff............

You mean some sort of Renegade who works with Resin?

Would I suggest something as bizarre as that?

Don't know of any aftermarket resin noses for the AV-8B+. I think that's down to Hasegawa offering one in their inexpensive "white box" line, which costs the same as the non-radar version.

Is an FA.2 nose close enough? There are FA.2 aftermarket sets.

You could possibly use some drop tank bits?

I will have a look at the nose on my Harrier +, it is the Hasegawa one and see if it is indeed similar to a sea harrier, or if it is similar to any of my drop tanks I have spare.
Cheers,
Chris.

Ok Ill dig out one of my Hase AV-8B+ kits and see how cloneable the nose is.

I have an AV-8B+ conversion set from Aviation Workshop that I am not using since I got enough of the Hasegawa kits for what I want. Send me a PM with your address and I will get it in the post to you, probably Saturday.

Chris.
