Ah the nozzles. I remember those. Pigs arnt they. I did warn you.

May I ask what you have painted the top side with, it looks very dark. Otherwise looking good.

Paintworks nice and crisp Ian, looks good.

Those vents look a bit fiddley though, rather you than me

Hi Ian M painted dark sea blue. I read some where that the Sea Harriers of the navy where painted dark sea blue just for the conflict

 

[Ian M]

Should that not of been Dark Sea Grey?

My understanding is that the Blue Harriers where painted on the way over to the Falklands to tone them down a bit.

I s'pose in the end its all down to which aircraft and at which time you are depicting it.

Having said that there is a wonderful blue and white Sea Harrier that was the "Admirals barge" (ZH809). That looked the mutts.
