Looking good. Funny thing is, for such a large model, it comes together quite quickly.

Yes just a tad Ralph. You need to get rid of all those rivets Airfix put on it.

Looking good. Have you started applying the camouflage already, oh no, it's Squadron Green. My mistake :P

[papa 695]

Very funny Colin you know I'm still trying to get rid of the rivets. Anyway this may end up like the real Harrier's at this rate.


Well I'm back off to do some more sanding

I sanded most of mine in the Greenhouse. I know there's a joke there somewhere but I'm just not seeing it.

It may have just been an House before you started sanding mate

[papa 695]

Well I think I'm getting there

You certainly are Ian! Of all the Airfix 1/24 kits, this is the one I've most wanted to do... gotta get one!
