I have a lot of affection for the Harrier family. You did a marvelous job of this one. The panel lines are really neat.I

Somewhere in the build line I want to attempt the X-32B, F-35B, AV-8B and Sea Harrier. My STOVL family as it were and three STOVL concepts

OC,

 

Great build!

 

I've seen the Harriers do their stuff at many airshows...nothing beats seeing a fighter jet flying backwards!

 

I imagine you have read it, but just in case, 'Sea Harrier Over The Falklands' - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sea-Harrier-Over-Falklands-PAPERBACKS/dp/0304355429  is a no-punches-pulled account of what 'possibly' happened in the Falklands.

 

"Sharkey Ward commanded 801 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Invincible, was senior Sea Harrier adviser to the Command, flew over sixty missions and was awarded DSC. Yet had he followed all his instructions to the letter, Britain might well have lost the Falklands War."

That is a great book. Sharkey upset a few of the brass with some of his insights as I recall.

i just finished Hazard Spectrum by Nate Grey , one of the F-35 test pilots. He devotes quite a lot of his book to flying Harriers with the Fleet Air Arm. Very readable book and quite a guy

The Harrier was a great program to work on. The difficulties and limitations but it’s great capabilities made everyone work together in a really positive way 

Thats a lovely model OC. I have 1/72 Sea Harrier, X-32B and F-35B kits and a plan for a small diorama at some point. If only I could speed up the process a bit
