The red scheme looks very cool.

Nice one. I'll look forward to seeing another Harrier built. There something about this strange little plane I can't get enough of.

You could make Harriers in your sleep Ian!

Moving along with this one now painted medium sea grey on the harrier side wall and white on the intake side wall, so when I put the intake on all I need to do is put some sponge on th inside to keep the colours tidy when spraying the outside.

Looks good Ian. Harrier intakes are always tricky.

Also drilled the landing light on the front wheel so I can put some Micro Kristal Klear on it to make it look like it's got a lense On it

Great idea Ian. It's looking fantastic already.
