 Hi all, I have known about this guy for some time now but thought I would let you check him out for yourself, now that we have an Aviation Forum on MS !! Take a look at this 1/48 Harrier GR.7 and then go and look for some more of his on the same site. An amazing plastic model builder by the name of Piero De Santis. Enjoy : http://hsfeatures.com/fe...s04/harriergr7pds_1.htm
Good stuff you have to admit ??   Kev

Nice one Bob. Bet you enjoy what you do ?? My Dad was in the RAF in the early fifties as an engine fitter. Worked on the Gloster Meteors, Hunters and other jets of that time and also worked on the odd Merlin engine from time to time. My nephew is in the RAF in Lincolnshire, I think that's where he is now and he is something to do with the ground crew, starting the jets up and fixing the ancillaries, or something like that ?? Kev

... and another Harrier from Piero, the GR.3 and in winter camouflage!! Attention to detail is amazing but as they say - "The Devil is in the detail". Enjoy : http://www.hyperscale.co...001/harriergr3pds_1.htm
