Merit Harrier Transformed to A AV8B VMA 542 TIGER

Post by Mrpacecar » Mon Jul 04, 2016 11:31 am

Hi Guys :salute:

I bidded on a Merit Harrier AV8B last year an won the bidding. Sadly it was broken during the transportation. The best part is what i got my money back thanks to the seller, who reclaimed it on Ebay. So I have a broken AV8B that shall i do with it? I decided to transform it from an Avenger to a VMA 542 Tiger. If you are interested to look at my work, you can find it on the site "modellbygge i fokus" and look under "FLYG"
I have done 2 topics "Merit 1/18 Harrier AV8b. Dated 2016-02-07" and "Uppdatering Merit 1/18 Harrier AV8B. Dated 2016-06-20. The work will continue :D

Best regards

Hi Guys, I have updated my work with the "Tiger". I have made decals with the names on the harrier and the pilot has the updated "Tiger" helmet. The Sidewinders are in place. You can see the pictures on following site
