I, too, am glad to see you still posting, Toshi. 

I love the Harrier. I have the Hasegawa 1/48 waiting in my stash, but I won't get to it for a while. Yours is looking great so far! That cockpit is very impressive!

Thank you so much dirkpitt77 for your words of support.  I'm very excited to be back on FSM Forums and building kits.  The most important fact is that I get to have conversations with forum members like yourself.  Thank you for the read and reply!

Toshi,

That IP and cockpit look brilliant!

But more than that, i'm really happy to see you back here and posting. I'm glad you've been able to keep up the hobby despite the recent move.

I look forward to seeing more of your builds.

Here is the start of the engine.  I assumed that the engine would be large especially in 1/32.  What I didn't expect was how large.  LOL!  

Thank you Griffin25.  The blue screens are aftermarket Eduard PE.  The only thing of the IP that's part of the kit is the IP's base.  Everything else you see is from the Eduard PE set #32673.  Thank you so much for the visit!

Toshi

That instrument panel looks awesome, man! Is the blue screen aftermarket or ot came with the kit?

Here is the IP.

Toshi

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

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!

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!

Toshi

 

 

 

 

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.

 

Toshi

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.

Toshi

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

Missed ya, buddy.

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!

Toshi

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

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

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...

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

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

Toshi

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

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.

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

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