Looking pretty smart splash.
Its nice to see an FA.2 with a GR.3!
its interesting as the Navy kept with the classic look and the RAF went with the GR.5 look!

I read somewhere the Navy had to stay classic, they weren't allowed to have the new Harrier II!!. I would go flying fist myself, 899 for me!.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

Nice work Splash. Before this GB I wasn't aware how many diferent versions existed of the Harrier. It's almost Spitfire like in that respect.

I'm not sure if the later harriers would have fitted on the carrier's lifts

I have had to stop work on the Harrier due to a Seaking Mk4 build, that I have to finish for the weekend, but I will complete it next week before the GB closes.

This was an enjoyable built, the kit is nice and straightforward only let down by the depth of the Panel lines and surprisingly the decals, as they had problems sticking to the surface some fell off the following day :shock:
