1:48 Harrier GR1/GR3 interior 3D decals for Kinetic kit

The Harrier cockpit in 1:48 scale

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier was the first production combat aircraft with vertical takeoff. It is powered by a single turbofan engine with four swiveling nozzles, through which the pilot directs the thrust downwards and backwards, so that the machine can take off from broken ground or from a ship deck. The GR1 version was the original British strike variant, while the GR3 then came with a more powerful engine and a lengthened nose into which a laser sight was fitted.

What the set brings to the model

A set of colored Kelik 3D elements for the pilot's compartment, cut for the Kinetic kit in 1:48 scale. The elements cover the instrument panel, the side consoles and other cockpit fittings. They carry legible dials, lettering and distinguished surfaces, and the raised relief also casts a shadow in side light, so the panel does not look like a painted flat. The Harrier is a single-seater and the cockpit shows well under the clear canopy, where bare plastic would be noticed at once.

Before you start work

• Before applying them, check in the instructions whether the elements are self-adhesive; the way of applying differs between the individual lines and is given in the instructions for the set.
• Spray the cockpit parts first, let them cure and degrease them, otherwise the edge of an element will lift away in time.
• Work while the cockpit is freely accessible, that is, before the fuselage halves are joined.
• Use tweezers with a soft grip and press down with a cotton swab from the center toward the edges.
• The matching of the elements to the individual kit parts is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Who the set is for

For builders of the Harrier in 1:48 scale from the Kinetic kit who want the cockpit finished without painting tiny dials. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
