1/72 Vf-84 Av-8b Harrier Ii "blackjack"

[Fishbone]

Tamiya 1/72 AV-8B Sea Harrier V/STOL fighter, this is a raised-line kit, the lines will gone even just sanding for few times. I really disappointed on the decals, they're too stingy on it and only provide so little decals and I need to print some decals myself. So I plan to make this Harrier II into some "What-if" theme: the VF-84 AV-8B Harrier II. After measuring the size of the tail and some parts, decals are printed and ready to apply.


For equipments and weapons, they're: SUU-23 / A "Vulcan" cannon pods x2, AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile x2, AGM-88 HARM x1 and AGM-84 Harpoon missiles x1.

At 1/72, the level of effort and details you put on the missiles is top job !!! Keep it coming.

Touch up some small details and some post-shading, very minor one.


Painted the canopy border, clear coated and ready for weathering/washing.

perhaps my favorite scheme for sea going aircraft, the jolly rogers. The F-18 version looks even better.


In my opinion, a very fine job for such a small scale

Update for 5th and 6th January: Tamiya Black Panel Line Accent.














Done some weathering & washing. Gonna make some enhancement/touch up sooner or later.

Wow, I love to see a Harrier in any form being built. You've done a great job on this build. I really, really like it.
