I know some of you are busy with Spitfires right now so I'll not chase you up till that GB is over. :grin:

I bet this is an Airfix kit you don't see very often!!!

I bagged it on eBay several years ago for a couple of pounds, all the parts are pre-cut and still attached. I think it's to rare to build, but I might scan and print it to see what it looks like.

I can honestly say that I've never seen that product before Splash; a very interesting product from Airfix!
Best wishes

If you like Harriers this set is good value.

With all the Sea Harriers being done I thought I'd look one of mine out. Maybe I could fit it in after the GR5.
Upon seeing the contents of the Airfix Sea Harrier FRS1 I find I have two B sprues and one C Sprue but no A sprue. [Airfix have been emailed] So thats one for the 'sometime' shelf.

For the life of me I can't find my Airfix club member first and last Harrier set so I've purchased a Tamiya MD mk ll. Hope to start by the end of the week.

I am going to pull out, I 'm afraid. Too many other projects on my bench at the moment that I won't be able to do it justice. :sad:
