Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR.1

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

He has used Light Stone and green on the top, I should imagine that would have been effective in the Desert.

Light Stone and Dark Earth. Surprised myself as the dark earth does look green in some lighting conditions.

Me too. I thought it was the winter finish which was used on the exercises in Norway.

It would look great next to Airfix's old Hercules / bloodhound set as that was in the Stone brown colours.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
