It's clearly fooled @bigbadbadge Chris into action 🤣, Cheers, Roger I reckon he has got a load of those bread bins in various sizes to keep us/me on our/my toes😄😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 A lot of time today was spent masking, spraying and unmasking for what seems like very little progress. I still need to touch up the pitot but after that I think it'll be ready for a clear coat and stickers. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, It was all little finicky stuff today that had to be done in separate stages as I was having to mask over other bits to make sure I didn't fire paint in all the wrong places. There should be stickers soon but back on an early tomorrow so it will be later in the week. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlxBNE Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 This build is coming along really nicely Alistair. Glad the head bump didn't lead to any long term problems, doesn't seem to have affected your masking abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the head bump didn't lead to any long term problems, doesn't seem to have affected your masking abilities. Thanks very much. The bump was caused by my own stupidity and is well in the past now. I've had enough concussions in the past to know what to watch out for. The masking is helped massively by my Infini cutting board which allows me to cut very thin strips of tape with a good edge to them. In a side note you've put Suzanne Vega in my head playing "Gypsy" One of my favourite songs. "Yes now I've met me another spinner Of strange and gauzy threads With a long and slender body And a bump upon the head" Cheers, Alistair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 She's on her feet and they're all level. Now it's a bit more stable I'll be able to get the aerials that require painting done and after a clear coat I can get a start on some stickers.

bigbadbadge Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Great to see it on it's undercarriage Alistair and glad it is level too. Not too far off now. Looking good. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looking good Alistair, I imagine getting the undercarriage level is a major part of Harrier builds. The paint looks lovely and smooth, no problem adding the transfers on a surface as clean that. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the stencils to do in the near future. I doubt it will be tomorrow as I want to try and get the Phantom ones finished and i don't think I'll want to go with more.
