WTB/T for 1/72 Sea Harrier FA.2?

nighthunter · February 15, 2014, 01:29:58 PM

Looking for any 1/72 Sea Harrier FA.2's available in someone's stash, I have plans to make it Irish, any assistance would be appreciated?

Have an old Monogram 1/48 P-40B no decals or clear parts for trade...

Thanks and have a great day!

And before anyone chimes in, it's not that bad of a kit --- I've got one and compared it to the Airfix one

Holy cow ! That Hannants Harrier page is giving me a......well, bringing me much excitement !

Out of interest......whats meant to be wrong with it....? I've heard/read about it but can't recall what any shape issues/inaccuracies there are meant to be.......what stores does it come with....?

Yeah, a saw a lot of people beaking off about it, but comparing it to the Airfix FA.2 I have it looks alright to me. No major issues at all.

nighthunter, PM in-bound

Many thanks for the reply........is it just tanks and sidewinders......?

I have to find another kit from the stash tomorrow so I'll hook it out while I'm doing that and have a check, but IIRC that's what's in there.

For that price, i could live the inaccuracies! €14.20, delivered to my door!
It would cost me more that in petrol and parking to go to my LMS!

I'll have two!

Cheers... Ray

I agree, I had picked it because I needed to fill the minimum order I had made.

nighthunter · February 15, 2014, 05:39:16 PM

I can find weapons packs for the Harriers, lol. Now for the fun part, I need IAC decals with fin flashes... The hard part is that it'll cost me $16.50 USD, apparently with shipping, to get The Max Decals, not a bad deal if you have the money to burn. I sadly do not. I just need two sets of IAC Roundels, fin flashes, and the crests... Anybody spare any?

On the plus side, if I buy them and then buy a Sherman or Firefly tank, I'd have the decals for it... for a whiff...

major · February 15, 2014, 06:25:16 PM

I'll have a dig around in the morning for you. i'm sure to have some, fin flashes and the crests may be a problem though!
Cheers... Ray

Thanks, Ray! Fin flashes are the hard things to come by...

murfv · February 16, 2014, 01:27:44 PM

I have some bits from an old IAC Maxdecal set which I could send your way.
What size of roundel & fin flash are you after, do you want the green/orange type or the green/white/orange type roundels?
Re the fin flash (tri-colour only) do you need the straight or angled ones?

Cheers
Vincent

major · February 16, 2014, 03:15:50 PM

Ok! I have the tricolour bosses, enough for one aircraft only though, the last in the stash.
Sorry, no fin flashes and the crest is going to be a bugger to find, applied to only a couple of aircraft for a short time.
After that its only the two colour boss i have, which was discontinued in 1954.
T'will be a while before i get round to having a go at your IAC harrier. Got to clear the backlog first!
PM your details and i'll send them on!
Cheers... Ray
