Nice one Peter. Has anyone noticed how we seem to gravitate towards Harrier a fair bit here?

Well your chap seems to be sitting comfortably. A different story with my pilot I'm afraid. In the sea Harrier kit I get a different seat and instrument panel, but the same pilot. Which means I've had to chop chunks out of him to get him in, poor sod. I'm also quite surprised at the lack of decent colour photos from the early 80's. Trying to detail my man has been a bit of a pain.

Nice pilot and office Peter.

You're going fast, do you want to be the first to complete?

Looking forward to seeing this come together when you finish the Hind.

Stick with it, it will look great when it's done. It's a 1:24 Harrier - there's nothing else like it.....

 

[peterairfix]

Here's a long awaited update as I have not touched it for some eight months it's now on the painting stage it's almost there the painting is a mix of spray and hairy stickView attachment 253614
