The first phase of the 1/32 scale Harrier builds for the USMC Blacksheeps

June 18, 2023 · in Aviation · · 16 · 278

Hi all!

Well I have completed 5 of the 6 AV8B II Plus cockpits for phase one, kit 6 just arrived so I have to go backwards and do this phase all over again so they are all on the same step.

Build has been tedious, having to do everything in batches of 5 and now 6.

Only challenge so far was the little PE HUD displays, pain in the a*s.

Created natural looking seat covers out of tissue paper for added realism.

Hope you enjoy!

  1. Extremely envious dude! I love the Harrier, hope to build one of those 1/32 kits one day! I will watch this build very closely as it will no doubt help me build mine one day! Great experience you are going through- best wishes on the set of 6!

  2. Agreed. I’d like to build just one. Hope the project stays fun and not too much assembly line.

  3. Wish I was building just one lol. It’s still fun I’m just treating is as one big model 😀

  4. @rickschad - Holy Moly! Fan-Freaking-Tastic work so far Rick.

  8. Wow, really liking the seat cover effect and the dry-brushing and shading look amazing all around...ejection seats are fantastic! Following this, keep us posted!

  9. Great start with these seats and cockpit details, Rick. How about starting a WIP over in the groups section?

  10. Excellent detail work! Why 6 giant Harriers at once?
