Going to give this one shot. Looks nice in the box. It will be a Operation Corporate jet but haven't quite decided if it will be an all over dark sea grey or the lighter barley grey one. I've got the Eduard Big Ed set, which isn't actually that big, only have 1 exterior and 1 interior PE set along with a mask. I also have a Pavla Resin set and model master probe set. I first applied the unpainted PE, then following the kit instructions painted the parts (FS36375). It was then I figured out the colour callouts in the instructions are not to be trusted (actually I was pretty suspicious to begin with). I think the cockpit is supposed to be Dark Admiralty Grey but I always like to lighten cockpit colours so I choose something that looked similar to the images I have of the cockpit, Mr Color 337 (FS35237) Grayish Blue. I was never much of a fan of coloured PE for cockpit side consoles as it seems a little flat. I do like it for instrument panels though However I'm warming to it especially for small dark cockpits like British jets of the 1970's. It actually looks quite good in this cockpit even more so when the cockpit is actually fitted to the fuselage.

Here is my version of the 1/24 Sea Harrier modelled as the final load out that would be flown by Gordy Batt. I built this some 2 years ago now but some how failed to put it on BM. I used Nick (NG899) for his extensive knowledge and the book Falklands Air War. It took me some 5 months to do which is about normal for me!. Coincidentally this aircraft that claimed Lt Cdr Batt was also the infamous one that took the tail hit (BDR repaired) on day one flown by Flt Lt Dave Morgan. Anyway I've promised Dougie (CWO_D_Rankin) & Christopher Batt (Battman) these photo's as Dougies post reenergised the story. Steve.
