Mav's Royal Navy GR.3 ------ DNF!
After a week of work since the Glider I have decided to make the Harrier GR.3 my third Blitz build.
I got this kit from a friendly gentlemen at the IPMS Birmingham Expo a couple of weeks ago.
It would have been the second build but there was no canopy included and a friend is sending me a copy so as soon as thats here this build will begin.
In the meantime here is an overview of the kit:

Re: Mav's Royal Navy GR.3
Really?
I had no idea it was an unusual kit to be honest.
I only bought it because it was part of a deal of 3 1/72 Matchbox kits for £1!

Do you still need a canopy?, I have a spare one of these in the loft if you want the clear parts?...Maverick231 wrote:Really?

Re: Mav's Royal Navy GR.3 ------ 22nd August
Haha yes it does seem so!
The first canopy FredK kindly sent to me was too big so I had to stall this build for the time being!
I have started a new post with the replacment build!

Someone who used to work in the local sorting office assures me that Royal Mail make no distinction between 1st & 2nd class stamps unless it is December. He never bought 1st class stamps.MarkyM607 wrote: Yes!, but so much for first class!
