Project V.T.O.L takes off.

Post by Thundershot »

Hi all:
Seeing all of the great custom work done here by the likes of Humby, Red Baron & everyone else has inspired me to have a go myself:

Keeping this nice & simple, as it's my first true vehicle custom, converting Chap-mei's Soldier Force Harrier to classic R.A.F camouflage.

The cockpit canopy's hinge is broken :thumbsdown: , but I'm working on it..

I'm really aiming to keep this easy & looking toy like so no super detailing or masses of stickers, just a couple of R.A.F roundels to (when I find some suitable) & it's all done

Thanks for looking
T'shot

Thanks Matt,

It's all going back together nicely:

The cockpit was already broken, by it's previous owner, a little bit of plastic surgery's needed:

A lick of paint needed, around the frame work, to hide the bodging, I think.

Looking really good so far mate. I had one in production myself but I've managed to shag it up so I might have to scrap it and find another. Hope you having a go inspires others? Bit late as you've already done it but the spray I use for :sas: grey is also very similar to the RAF 80s grey with green camo.
