Hornby are a bit slow in sending replacement items but then again I think the T10 has been discontinued so their may not be any to send.
Anyway the spare GR 7 i've been building in the mean time-been painted and mounted on a spare corgi stand. The sea eagle missiles are in the bottom left corner ready to go on. The pilot has been left out for now until the canopy is fitted as he is a bit tall for the cockpit.

Any luck with that canopy Thomas

Hi Ratch

Nice work, I love the in-flight depiction on the stand, makes the Harrier look a lot more purposeful and agile.

I used the updated 801 badge from that sheet and the 801 decals from the UK update part 1 sheet. i wanted to use up the part 1 sheet (only a Puma and a Griffon left on that) and as nobody yet has produced a 1/72 FA2 I've protrayed the Harrier as a what if subject.

The scheme is very attractive

My sheet places it at Cottesmore, but as they use Wittering, I suppose it applies both ways
