If you're still stuck for an idea for the SHAR FRS.1, you could always do it in Royal Canadian Navy markings, operating from HMCS Canada (ex HMS Centaur) or HMCS Rainbow as per my little story here:

Oddly enough, HMCS Rainbow is our local Sea Cadets chapter, and there's a big play park down by the river and the playset is in the design of a ship !

As for Harrier building actually going on at my place...here's proof  :thumbsup:

Scooterman will be recuiting you for the Harrier SIG when he see's that little lot ;D
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Heehee....I've got two more 'refurbs' in the other room, as well as 2 more GR.3s, 2 more Sword T-birds, and the Xtrakit FA.2 still to do  :thumbsup:

And yes Martin, I do love them Harriers !

Looks like the flight test line at Dunsfold!  ;D
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! :)

You or the beer mate  :cheers:, they look 1/72 to me
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Captain Canada

I think it's just the angle, or maybe how big the GR.9s look in relation to the first generation ones.

Nothing else done this weekend. We had company which forced me to clear off my little table.....a good thing I guess, as it needs doing every once in awhile !

Really nice collection, I hope to see them soon finished  :thumbsup:

Captain Canada

OK....gonna try and get some work done tonite. Hockey is on tv, but it's not my team so I can actually not be all tied up, wound up and nervous !


My idea is to go 2 at a time. I'm going to start with the two GR.1s, since they were sort of 'the originals' in this latest incarnation of Harrier madness !

:thumbsup: :banghead:
