Julien Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Its not a bad kit, now primed the whitebits you can see on this pic. I picked the kit up for 50p at a boot sale, someone had glued the pilot into the seat, and no decals but apart from that its all there. Actually making some progress, now thats shocking!

Max Headroom Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Didn't it come out with an USMC option originally? MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well, Im sure it will come out cracking!Will you be opening the aux inlet panels? I thought about it, but then CBA factor kicked in. Didn't it come out with an USMC option originally?MH No, Only two options in the box were Harrier Operational conversion unit, the 2 aircraft which took part in the London / New York Air Race 1974.

Julien Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Arh!!!!!!!!!!! Put second coat of grey on tonight and its lifted the first coat. Had to scrub of the light grey using thinners. Luckily the grey model primer has not been affected, that stuff must have kryptonite in it or something. Will now leave it a day to let thinners evaporate. Also stops me stomping it into little bits Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
