Harrier GR.5, 1/72nd Airfix (conversion)
Here’s the latest. Airfix’s recent Harrier GR.9 converted to a GR.5. Nose is from Quickboost. Pilot is from PJ Productions. Thousand pounders from the Revell Tornado, Sidewinders from the Hasegawa weapons set. Painted with Mr Color, decals are a mix of kit and Modeldecal. Final finish is Vallejo matt and gloss mixed to a slight sheen and micromeshed. Quick and easy conversion, and my favourite Harrier colour scheme.

Fantastic job , hard to believe that’s 1/72 it must have been so fiddly.
Cheers N.

I like the build, but the panel lines on these Airfix Harriers are always an issue for me – scaled-up they’d be the thickness of a man’s hand.
Immaculate workmanship, though, and my favourite Harrier scheme as well.

I’m with Neil-difficult at best. 1/48 enough of a challenge. Very nice.

Very neat job, Drewe, and clever use of accessories from other kits.
