Excellent!

Now, how about something African? :serious-business:

Cheers

Hmm, may be time to graft a ground attack nose onto this one. I'm having visions of a sorry looking, worse for wear, Zimbabwean GR.3...

Hey Chris,

Awesome Harrier collection. Really like the French Aeronavale one.
A Zim Harrier should look great as well.

Cheers

Officially on Christmas holidays now, so more time to spend on fun stuff! I've started work on creating a GR.3 profile out of my Sea Harrier. For now here's another grey one:

Thanks guys! Spent today finishing off my GR.3 profile. It's amazing how just tucking the cockpit down a little and altering the nose changes the whole look of the aircraft. I couldn't be arsed changing the inner pylons to the earlier style (but how many of you would have noticed if I hadn't mentioned it  ;)).

Anyway, here's my first Harrier GR.3 profile, RNZAF 75 Squadron:

very nice, i can just imagine these in service alongside the Skyhawks, cool profile, this just screams 'make me' (the Esci/Italeri GR.3 is a really nice build!)

Quite nice Chris.  My Un Zud Harrier was a GR.1 back in 08, but I skipped the 3 and did a 7 in their later lizard scheme.  That and the overall Green would be good choices for more of them for you.

Nice work on all of those Harriers.  No, I would not have noticed the subtle change in the inboard stores pylon unless you mentioned it.  Too busy looking at the other details to catch that or even be wise enough to notice.

Thanks for all the kind words. Finally got a bit of quiet time to sit down and knock out a few more GR3 profiles. First up a SAAF Harrier in Mirage F1 camo:


And, as promised, a beaten up Zimbabwean Harrier:


Cheers,

Chris

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do. For now here's a RNZAF Harrier in lizard scheme:


And a South Vietnamese Harrier captured and put into service by the VPAF:

Some brilliant stuff here. The SAAF, RAAF and Zimbabwe are personal favorites... But why would a Zimbabwe Harrier be based in neighboring Congo??
