Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR 3
Here’s my Airfix 1/72 Hawker Harrier GR 3. I bought this kit to eventually add one to my collection of RAF fighters, but I was never a big fan of the type. To me the Harrier just didn’t look right. Boy how my attitude has changed [...]

I finished this one last year for the RAF 100 group build here and it also featured in our club RAF 100 display. It is the Revell 1/72 A400M kit built out of the box with repositioned flight controls and aftermarket decals from Babibi for [...]
