Run out of Mat varnish but otherwise completed. Tail decals broke up but I sort of rescued them.
Ta for looking.

Re: Novo AV8A harrier
Great effort. Not sure if I’ve seen a Frog Harrier before. Check your reference but some early Harriers did have a sheen to them.

The first RAF GR.1s were definitely glossy; not sure about the USMC equivalents.JamesPerrin wrote:Great effort. Not sure if I’ve seen a Frog Harrier before. Check your reference but some early Harriers did have a sheen to them.
Howard, that looks excellent. Brings back memories of making the FROG GR.1 far too many years ago.

Re: Novo AV8A harrier
Like it! I hope to find time to do a Frog/ Novo kit in the near future
Waiting for the day, when wars for territory will be something to be read about in history books only.

Re: Novo AV8A harrier
Thanks for the comments folks. far too kind.
It seems likely( looking at other peoples builds ) my bird was glossy so i will leave as is.
