++++Finished+++++ Tim's 1/72 Airfix BAE Harrier GR5 - RAFG 1989

That's coming together very nicely Tim.

How are you finding the drying time with Xtracolor (the few times I've used them they seemed to be very slow)?

Yes - I tend to give em 36hrs, I used Mr Color Levelling Thinners, so it's not so bad, though it was heavily thinned. The Xtracolor thinners also helps with drying time.

Canopy mask off - as expected there is a small crack where I squeezed the canopy to fit, but not too bad I spose:

Bit of subtle weathering mainly around the heat shields and nozzles on fairly new airframes. Next is to get some weapons on!

Tidy work on an older kit Tim :goodjob: Also I've learned there is such a thing as BBC Brasil; every day is a school day.

Thanks - yes an old kit, but hey, Harriers are great even if the kit is not the best ever!

Thanks - lol yes, BBC Brasil, its part of what we all know as the World Service, we have bureaus worldwide transmitting in the local language and English, bilingual teams operating in the area.

I am lucky enough to cover WS Americas, Europe, S Asia as well as Sport and Natural History Unit on the 'High Risk' type tasks/trips.
