I found this on line.


As the picture shows Anti-Flash V bombers had no anti-glare panel.  I may add one to the Harpy, albeit in mid grey rather than black.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Masked and painted the leading edges and nose and glare panel with Ocean Grey.  Measured up for some transfers.

That takes some peering to figure out its Victor origins!  ;D :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I would judge a little differently: the Harpy IS 72 times nicer than the true Victor! (or 48 times or 144 times, depending on the scale, but even so much nicer than the corresponding Victor scale model) ;D

Maskings off.  Some touching up, a second (and possibly third) coat on the undercarriage bays and she'll be ready for a coat of clear.  Then transfers.  Some of which I have to draw up and print.

Lindberg 1/96 Victor.
So I confirm: the Harpy model is 96 times nicer than the Victor model ;)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Transfers printed today.  I put them on the same sheet as those for the Gnat X but these fared better.
