From what I can see the load out seems okay.

Thanks Mark I was hoping it was, I did plenty of research and looking through loadout photos and it seemed ok but wanted a second opinion.

29 Harrier's in total, because you can never have too many......

I know Hobbymaster Diecast models aren't kits but I've edited my 4 squadron GR.9 to display configuration which is how I saw my last 3 Harrier Displays as Waddington and RIAT 2010:

Do I see the eggplane version hidden at the bottom of the stash?

That's where it should stay- hidden. Bloomin' egg plane rubbish

[IronMan129]

Haha yes you did and its a harrier so I had it, cost more than any other Harrier kit has ever cost me!

Quick update, Wings are on and sanded.

Gun pods are too.

After not much persuasion(I promise) my wife has agreed to join us!
Sal will be building an AV-8B in US Marine colours.
I'm still trying to persuade her to let me post pics of it so wish me luck on that(she doesn't even know I'm posting this so shhhh) but she's gonna do amazing so hopefully I'll win her round.

[IronMan129]

As of today this is what my Airfix GR.7 looks like:

Sal is making real good progress with her AV-8B:


And just for kicks here are some of my other Harrier bits:
GR.3 and GR.9/7 T-shirts

Nose cover, tail intake cover, RAF Benevolent Fund badge, mini metal wall plate and a photo bought from a museum.

[IronMan129]

Applied the lighter gray and finished plugging up all the white areas which need to be saved.
She's now ready for the next step.

Sal's built the rest of her weapons and a pic will be posted tonorrow.

[IronMan129]

Were taking a break for a weeks holiday now folks so will look in but no updates till then.
Happy Modelling!

[IronMan129]

First day and these items found there way into our car somehow, oops...

[DavidWomby]

That's my idea of how a holiday should be!

Haha yeah swiftly followed by a 1/72 Tamiya AV-8B Harrier II for £9 which I'm gutted I couldn't get!
