1/48 Airfix/Monogram kitbash

Sea Harrier FA.2

--------------------

 

With the Sea Harrier due to be retired in 2006 from the Fleet Air Arm, I wanted to add one of these to my growing collection.  The Airfix kit is not very clever, so I decided to graph the Nose section and the tail from the Airfix kit onto Monograms GR1 which has far better detail.  Decals are a mixture, some from the Airfix box, some from the spares box but squadron markings come from Model Alliance.  To replicate a SHAR in everyday use, I added 2 CLB200 dispenser's via Flightpath.   I've nearly finished a "shiny" Black T8 trainer also in the markings of 899 squadron, which will accompany the FA.2 nicely.
