1/72 Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II Plus

--------------------

 

This is my 1/72 Hasegawa Harrier. It is entirely OOB. Took me about 3 months to finish it. Nice little kit. Used Model Master Paints. Weathered it after the first gloss coat was on, then with a pencil run through all the panel lines, then with the 2nd coat seal them and then run an eraser in the direction of the airflow.

IF anything, the kit has 2 minor issues: The fuselage halves aren't even, so there's a Step gap that needs a lot of patience to be sanded. Second issue is the Rear landing gear is 2mm too short (it's unnoticeable until you put the tiny wing wheels) Used styrene strips to correct this. Apart from that, Wonderfull kit, classic Hasegawa quality. I'm also very proud of it, it got 2nd place in the Local Hobby Club's Jet Contest in March =). Hope you like it as much as I do!

Take Care
