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

Well it's starting to look like a Harrier now

I've started to open the flaps on the intakes

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

 

[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

 

[colin m]

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


I do my sanding outside the lawn has never looked so green

 

[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!

Nice to see this on the move again. Come on now, big push before the end of the year.

I'm trying Colin honest

 

[papa 695]

Now with some colour on. But I think this is one aircraft that looks fantastic in the winter colour scheme, so that's what it's getting. So the next step is to get the hairspray out.

Looks good Ian, the winter scheme is going to be awesome.

Thanks Joe

Got the white on now, it's time to start the chipping and some weathering

Yep, it does look awesome

 

[colin m]

This scheme can be weathered to death - please do it, it's an extreme weatherists delight. I think I made a word up there !

 

[Guest]

Yeah! Looking very good so far Ian!!


Magnificent work

 

[papa 695]

I've been slowly moving along with this one, got the decals on and started the weathering on the pods and pylons.

Looking great Ian. Nearly there, you'll just need somewhere to put the monster next.

 

[papa 695]

I'm not going to be able to finish this one by the end of today, but it will be the first one completed in 2016
