        Hello guys,

        Some more progress to report.

        Main colour scheme paint is now done so just a bit of detail painting to do before decalling can start.

        The ejector seat has also been painted up (forgive the poor quality photo the camera was having trouble focusing :sleeping2: )

            Hi Geoff
            Just had a catch up and I must say you've done a cracking job. Very neat work. Tidy work opening up those air vents.

              Shaping up nicely. I think I might need another Harrier in my life.

                  Thanks Jim, yes I was in two minds whether to bother doing that but glad I did.

                    Thank you Colin, there should always be room for more Harriers :smiling4:

                      Quite right. I've built a 1:72, and a 1:24, but nothing in between.

                        Such an iconic aircraft and you've made a great job of the kit Geoff.

                            Ah well I’m going to have to admit defeat on finishing this one before the GB ends :disappointed2:

                            Since the last update I have finished the decals but it still needs a silk coat a bit of weathering and a few bits and bobs added.

                            Never mind here are the photos as it stands now.

                            I’ll finish it off in the next few days and post a few final reveal photos once done.

                            Thanks for looking and all the encouragement :thumb2:

                              Don't let the end date worry you. Your little Harrier is looking great. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

                                I’m calling this done now.

                                I haven’t added the sidewinders as they are pretty poor.
