- Made sometime between 1970 and 1980 the Dinky Hawker Harrier No722 featured retracting undercarriage and swivelling engine nozzles. For this video I used two Harriers to make a one complete aircraft model.
There is a bit of social distancing friendly landscape vistas and chainsaws were put aside...
Super job on the Harrier !! Went from trash to treasure ... please update once clear coat is on and ready to show.
You have great skills and model kits would work for me ! More aircraft, please.
I found those unplayable with as a kid because of the metallic colors LOL. I was a scale stickler.
got one of them lidi tools. they do work well
Looks much better :D
I like dinky toys
A painting tip.....
Always paint canopy frames with the brush inline with the frame, not crosswise. Makes for a neater job.
looking grat again! fascinating mechanism, too! :) you could lube it with graphite off a soft pencil lead, if needed.
and it came with a pilot, too? they upped it with every new plane, it seems.
"All Roger?"
"This is Roger, what's up?"
"Who let that &%)"&%/ Roger join the airforce?"
;)
Really great job done of the Harrier . Looks just right in MATT PAINT FINISH .
Nice job! I've just picked up one of these from eBay, and I'll be following your example - thanks a lot :-)
Harriers were VSTOL aircraft so did indeed do rolling landings and takeoffs and the undercarriage was designed both for that and the considerable 'bump' experienced as the aircraft lost ground effect during vertical landing.The wing Oleos were actually wheels not skis.
When folk ask what you do for a living, you can say test pilot for dinky toys
Don’t forget to click the dislike button twice. LMBO
Excellent restoration and you got the camouflage correct too.
That came out great. I've seen a few Harriers on static display but regret never actually seeing one take off or land.
I immediately broke into a great big smile as soon as I saw your posting! I am enjoying this series very much and this was even more welcomed what with the current circumstances. Thanks!
Nice. I had this and the SEPECAT Jaguar. Let me know if you restore one of those.
Its on the todo list.
@@diecastrescue3597 That would be awesome.
Soooooo AWESOME!!!! You did a fantastic job on this restoration! The paint job is impeccable! It was a real pleasure to watch this video. Thank you for posting it. I vote “yes” to building the Dinky kits you mentioned. I love Dinky’s models. Keep up the good work!
Not bad , I've just bought a fixer upper
Nicely done great end result.
Well What A Difference!!! Very Nice Work they,re Diecast Rescue!!! Thanks For All That Feedback!!!
And you got the landing gear to work... 😎!!
Another lovely job and a much nicer more authentic paint livery than the original factory colours. Of interest, I have a Dinky factory pre production Harrier finished in dark gold, of all things! As you can imagine, it doesn’t flatter the model at all. ( What were Dinky thinking?!) 😝
They really were keen on on some odd paint jobs
A BEAUTIFUL restoration job!!.. All ready to go back to battle!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Nice restore
Hi . magnificent work of restoration. You've given me a lot of guidelines, for possible play restorations of small toys. Cheers.
Where are you getting the parts for the restorations from?
Like the canopies and decal sheets and plastic props and the black rubber noses for the jets?
Can you give me a lead to obtain parts?
Thanks.
Hi www.model-supplies.co.uk/ is a good source and Ebay has sellers too that sell spares.
Project turned out rather nicely well done, Harriers are an iconic aircraft still in service with the USMC thanks to their versatility and one of my all time favourite aircraft 👍
That looks amazing. My favourite aircraft of all time.
Such a shame to see a good model be mistreated and broken but good job on your video at least you tried.
Nice work. Interesting to see the mechanism and how you manage to put it together. Well done.
Marty’s Matchbox Makeovers just did one as well.
Looks like you are combining 2 of the same castings in order to build 1 good model ..
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during difficult times..
Came out great!The thurst vectors are a very clever features!
Marty greetings From Barcelona! I really enjoyed your video of the Harrier! Thank you very much indeed. The missing canopy is a detail that I have struggled with as well with a Dassault Super Étendard and I still havent been able to make one neither to find a replacement... Please post a vídeo if you find the solution. Greetings to Australia! FPR
I got this same little plane long time ago while I was a boy, my elder sister bought it to me and I love it very much..... Your video bring those good memories back and many thanks!!!!
Great restoration, interesting to see the inside workings, you can do a model kit my friend that would be interesting.
I think we are all getting low on supplies and things
I hope the arm isn't to painful.
Thanks my forearm developed a lovely yellow bruise but its faded now
Looks like a well detailed casting with good bones...
The pilot looks very similar to the one used for the Dinky 351 UFO Interceptor 🤔
It is the same bloke, only in the SHADO Interceptor, he's moulded in silver.
Great job!
Nice work
Nice renovation. The landing gear at the end of the wings were not skis, but had small single wheels to help balance the aircraft when it landed and was on the ground. Keep up the good work.
Gary Burford wing tip things are called stabilisers
Nice job on the small fine details....
Nice restoration
Beautiful view at the beginning. I loved that Harrier as a kid at the end of the 1960's - it really was a taste of the future. I had the Airfix model of the P1127 'Kestrel', the prototype, and got the Dinky Harrier as a Christmas present. It got played with a lot. Dinky also made a model of the Jaguar fighter/bomber. It had a working ejector seat, if I remember, which guaranteed lost pilot figures or your money back (or something).
Your restoration looks superb. The donor Harrier looks like the ones found in the middle of nowhere, that are used as gunnery targets for RAF trainees. The cover of Suede's 'Sci-Fi Lullabies' (1997) has a heartbreaking picture of a BAC Lightning in such a position.
Most model shops are still selling online, if you need supplies. Wonderland Models in Edinburgh, or Hattons in Widnes are both great.
Amazon has modeling supplies, paints, brushes, thinner, etc.
Being retired and now homebound, I have a good stock of model kits to keep me busy. Postal Service and UPS still deliver.
Sometimes but because of where I am even amazon wont deliver certain items and I have to use a mail redirection service with means some items cost more in postage then the items original cost and postage combined. And even then I have to go and collect it from a collection centre 10 miles away that is not open at the moment sadly :(.
