damaged airfix harrier comes in for maintenance!

this kit suffered some light damage about 5/6 years ago, by getting blown off a table at a model show by a blast of wind (no, i hadn't been eating beans the day before, it was the other kind of wind!)

Good job returning a Code 3 (not mission capable) bird back to Code 1 (ready to fly) status! Fun repairing and maybe improving previous builds. Chalk me up in the vintage kit build column. Currently working on the 1/72 Monogram P-51B (1967 tooling) and P-40N (1960 tooling) from the Accurate Miniatures Air Combat Legends 2007 boxing. Pondering whether to add the True Details resin cockpit to both or build as is…

thanks! as I write this reply I am working on a 1963 tooling airfix B 17, my stash of kits is probably about 70% older stuff against newer toolings. I have another project I want to start, then I will most likely turn my attention to the Bf 110

Restored and back in service. Nice job

[@philsmodelmaking2260]

yeah, it deserved to be sorted out after all this time

[@marcblank3036]

Thanks on behalf of all modelers to returning the bird back to full service

[@philsmodelmaking2260]

this kit totally deserved to be fixed back up!
