AS2 -
Thats a great Harrier

Look left of the forum posts and find the link for "Search Forums"
I recommend a search for "wash" and one for "dry brushing" in the Painting forum,
since thats the next logical step in the process of finishing your beautiful kit.

I am going to try to post a forum search result set for wash in the URL below,
hope it works

Looks great, are you using an airbrush (It looks like it).
I can't tell, but in two of the photos it looks like there's some light sheen (but in one there isn't). May just want to hit with some dullcoat when you're done, other that that it looks great!! (USMC Version next?)

That's going to be one swell Harrier there Alphas-son2! With that wrap-around camo scheme, it's hard for me to tell what end is up.

I like aircraft too but, I wouldn't know where to begin with a model of one. I'd like to keep an eye on your progress with this baby. Hey, I bet you that I'll learn something from you!

Have lots of fun young man!! Welcome aboard too!

Much better now. The gloss finish has been removed.

:-) Yep, I was right, one nice looking harrier ( I've played up close to them when doing Harrier support [tin runways, VTO pads, hides and the like] so I know what I'm talking about ) One thing I gotta know is, did you manage to get both outriggers to touch the ground? This is the hardest part of building a harrier, I didn't manage it on my GR3. I now know the solution to the problem, so when you build your next Harrier (a GR5?) let me know.
