Hi
I'M new to this site. I have a couple of questions.
1. US Marine Corpe Harrier. I have built this and would like to build a display does anyone know what sort of ground line markins would there be on a concrete apron i.e. outside of a hanger and also what type of support equipement and personnel would be needed to create a pre flight scene?
Where the heck can I get hold of a 1/35 M109G, Italeri have stopped making their one, does anyone else make one?
Have fun

For the Harrier, the USMC doesn't use any special markings on the apron. Standard yellow lines for turnways, parking stops, etc. would work fine. You could also put it on a carrier deck. Verlinden has some carrier deckhands and a fire truck in 1/32 that would be close enough.
The only other boxing of the M109G was by Revell with a few more German-specific parts added. I believe it is out of prodcution as well though. They do come up on eBay from time to time, so keep an eye out.
Good luck on both.
EDIT: One for sale here at Armorama in the Buy, Sell, Trade Forum
