Hi i know this is a sea harrier but it is 24th scale and with a lot of work it took me 3 months to build keep going at it i know how you feel Simon

Hi using white primer gives you a better basis to paint on because grey will change the color plus you will need more top coat to cover it Simon

Hi the cockpit has big differences the nose only has one RWR bump on each side and the fins are totally different you need the backdate set from avionix Simon

Very very nice Steve that is beautiful Simon

Hi Steve the first issue of the model was in a white scheme i had the decals but i cannot find them Simon

Hi send an email to this addy Sarah will help you [email protected] with no problems Simon

Hi Mike just one thing when painting the model all the metal areas will be gloss and the fabric will be satin finish and do not forget the zipper on the top of the wing for the first aid kit Simon who put a chipmunk in the galleria at Hatfield many years ago and later restored said aircraft WP790/ G-BBNC

Hi they are interior grey green painted Simon

Hi just had a Chinook fly over heading east

Hi Gav i got the markings with the model it was russian or iraq airways it looks like they have changed it now Simon

Hi Gav it is the old contrail/sanger model i bought it from hannants in lowestoft it is this one but in Iraqi markings http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/CON739 Simon

Hi i have a built vacform 72nd scale one of these that i will be doing in that scheme carry on the good work Simon

Hi Julien i use cellulose thinners to thin xtracolor it dries a lot quicker and shines better Simon

Hi No11 is far to bright HSS is very close to silver dope like interwar years a/c just asked my father and ford silver fox is the closest to it he built Hp victors at radlett in HSS Simon

Hi it should be high speed silver xtracolor do it in the enamel range Simon

Hi green is for bigger gaps and white is for fine repairs Simon

Hi i always use either green stuff or white stuff depends on the gap i am filling Simon

Just check to make sure they were not just wired shut so you could still see them Simon

Hi they were deleted they are for high speed flight to smooth the airflow when wings are fully swept look for pics of the prototype they show them Simon

Lovely photos of my favorite aircraft only the two seater i have it on the flight sim and fly for hours just lovely thanks Simon

Hi the colors were pastel shades and not bold colors that is why they look faded just asked my father he worked at luton for monarch on brits when they were in service

Hl my shelves of shame have 18 and in the loft i dare not look i know in total i have over £1500 of models sitting around half built Simon

Hi when putting a new blade on swan morten handles slide it so it starts to fit then push the tip gentle on your cutting matt to slide the blade on saving fingers to remove use a small pair of pliers to lift and slide the blade off this is how i do it and still have all my fingers only just Simon

Hi i tried them once and once only then threw them away i have swapped to vallejo model air varnishes i paint with enamels decal ready Simon

Hi i built the dynavector one it fits like an injection model once rubbed down just got to paint it now
