Completed 11/26/16 Trumpeter 1/32 AV-8B Night Attack Harrier II

My new space.

I hung the models on the wall as the ceiling space is way too small.

Nice display but I can't imagine being comfortable with all those planes on that stairway (?) wall.

Thank you sir.  It's actually a wall that separates the model/niche room from the stairs hence you're correct on both counts.  Yes, it scares both Mrs. Toshi and I!  LOL!  I have to find room for these planes somehow.  Thanks for the read and reply.

Toshi

Hi Toshi,

Great to see your making space for your models and working on a new one after the move! I'll be watching!

Kevin

Thank you XF-15DCC.  It's good to be back and building a kit again, albeit a monstrosity of a model.  LOL!  

Toshi

Here is the start of the Trumpeter kit.  It feels strange trying to acclimate myself in a new bench surrounding but I'm happy with the way things turned out thanks to fellow forum members!

Toshi

I'm sure you'll get it all worked out.  Welcome back to forum.  I'll be watching this new build.

Glad to see you back at it, Toshi.  Have fun with the big Harrier.

This will not be as big of a model as your F-4G that fell and was destroyed recently. The Harrier is maybe 2/3 the size of the Phantom.

Thank you very much roony.  It's a fantastic feeling to be back especially with such a "welcome back to the forums" from you.  I'll definately get used to the new surroundings in time.

Toshi

It's great to be back jeaton01.  I missed this hobby so much.  Thank you for the welcome back.  

Toshi

Wow, you have a good memory!  You just jogged my mind in the incident I had several months ago with the F-4G Phantom that fell from the sky!  LOL! Thank you for the read and reply.  

Toshi

I remembered your incident because I'm building the same kit now... I'd be heartbroken if that happened to mine with all the effort I'm sinking into it...

Good to see you all set up Toshi. Nice subject, look forward to seeing more.

LOL!  What a coincidence.  I hope you enjoy building that kit as much as I enjoyed the build.  I was not as heartbroken but more so shocked to see it on the ground when I had larger models hanging.  Oh, well.  Thus is life.  LOL!  Good luck on your build!

Toshi

To Bish,

Finally!  This was one of the last rooms to do.  I too love this subject as I still recall this jets performance in a movie called True Lies.  I just loved the concept of a VSTOL aircraft and thought how cool it would be to build one!  Thank you for the read and reply!

HELLO THERE AGAIN MR. TOSHI !

In seeing all the replies in my email from FSM on one subject, namely the harrier, I knew it was you . LOL  I'm so glad your back at it and I knew you woud be. 

i am just now recovering from hurricane Mathew and repaired the last of the major damage, just a few more details to go then it's back to the modeling bench for me as well.

I miss you and all of the FSM forum members so much!  I too am so glad to be back and at it again.  I'm happy to hear that you and Mrs. Jay Jay are safe and sound from the Matthew ordeal.  Thank you so much for the support you've given me!

Isn't that always the case. I am now finally in my own model den after years of building in the dinning room.

You can always trust the Brits to come up with something special.

Good to see you back at the bench, Toshi! :D

Missed ya, buddy.

It's good to be back M.Brindos, especially with you all.  I really miss building my aircraft kits.  Thank you for your support and belief in me.  I greatly appreciate it.

Glad your back Toshi......True Lies was a classic..

 

For shear intensity the machine gun and the helicopter crash scene is what I use to see if the subwoofer is set up right.  Then I use the scene in True Lies of where the two Harriers intertwine and shoot their missiles at the bridge.  I love to use that as a test scene as that test scene puts emphasis on the left, center, right, rear left, and rear right surround speakers as the missiles are launched and the two Harriers fly their tandem patterns.  If everything is set up right, you can hear the missiles fly around you and hear the jets move around the room.  As you stated; "True Lies was a classic"!  I must agree with you on that note!

Toshi

Here is a quick update of the cockpit.  Thank you all for the visit!
