Looks nice, but does the canopy look too bulbous to you?

Just got one off of Ebay about a week ago and really like it! Nice weapons load, much better looking than the USMC VMA-542 Flying Tigers that I got rid of.

Get it. It is a nice piece and it is pretty heavy for its size!

Re: Opinions on this AV-8B Harrier, please?

FM's Harriers are surprisingly heavy for their size and, overall, look pretty good. The tires and wheels are one piece and are painted rather sloppy. There is also a visible mold line that runs down the center of the clear canopy. Aside from those flaws, I'd say that the good definately outweighs the bad and if you collect 1/48, and like the Harrier, then get it.
