1/72 Italeri Harrier GR.3

This is my 1/72 Italeri Harrier GR.3. This is built completely using scratchbuilt parts from styrene sheets, tubes, brass wires and tubing etc. Attention was given to the aux air intakes and details specific for this version used during the Falkland wars particularly the nose section and flare dispensers.

Tamiya acrylics, enamels and Alclad paint was used to finish the model.

The kit has fine recessed panel lines and the overall model looks very much in scale. The fit was ok and requires very little filling up and sanding. I have fun building this and would definitely recommend it. With a little patience this could turn out to be a very good kit of the Harrier in this scale.

Thanks and enjoy!
