Airfix 1/72 Air Expo 92 Harrier GR.3 ZD668

[ZacYates]

Hi all,
I've been quietly working away on Airfix's excellent new-tool Harrier GR.3 from a couple of years ago, and imagine my surprise when I discovered one can puchase decals to represent ZD668 - the very Harrier that delighted many a forum member at Auckland's Air Expo in November 1992, flown by Ashley Stevenson of the RAF. I wasn't at the show but Mum taped it off TV and I watched it a lot as a kid - this was one of many displays at that show that stayed in my mind and I always enjoy rewatching it.

Thanks to WONZer harrysone I was able today to add one missing decal - Sqn Leader IA MacDonald's name under the canopy - and a machine I've long wanted in my collection was finished!

Hopefully this rekindles some good memories for those who attended the airshow almost thirty years ago

Thanks Mark!

A little while back I looked into the ejections Ashley Stevenson and host Philip Alpers talked about:
