1/48 Monogram AV-8B Harrier

Here is my AV-8B Harrier built OOB that depicts a machine operated by VMA-331 Bumblebees.  I've always had a soft spot for the Harrier, so I thought "Why not!" when I saw it on sale one day. The kit was built a while ago, so I can't remember what colours I used, although they were the recommended colours from the plans. As usual, the paint used was Humbrol.  The decals were also straight out of the box. If someone was to build this kit, I would recommend an aftermarket seat, as the seat comes in two halves and the seam runs vertically straight down the middle. Not a good look. Having said that, it was a pleasure to build and can't remember any bad points from the building process.

A great kit for someone to cut their modelling teeth on!
