RMP2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Looking very smart indeed. Just one thing before you go any further - starboard wing - shouldnt that reddish area be in black? I could be wrong, but I only ever recall seeing it in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 20 hours ago, SoftScience said: What is this copydex you mentioned? Copydex is a latex rubber adhesive available in the UK. When applied to a plastic or metal surface it can be peeled off when dry and so makes an excellent masking medium. The advantage is that it is much cheaper than purpose made masking fluid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Copydex-Multi-Use-Fabric-and-Home-Use-Bottle-Adhesive-500ml-/400948271676?hash=item5d5a611a3c:g:I-gAAOSwdGFY0G5Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Okay, time for an update on these two. I've been experimenting with spraying clear lacquer instead of Klear. This seems to work and gives a very high gloss finish, which works well for the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 And now, both jets up on their own wheels - although the Harrier is still a bit wobbly. The tyres need a few touchups. The undercarriage legs were painted Light Admiralty Grey. I sprayed them with Lifecolor UA027 Dark Ghost Grey, which provides the blue grey colour that I remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as bright as I have it, so I'll probably do something to tone it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
