Thank goodness for the time extension. Last night a few bits done. Today the time was wasted away on fiddling with the u/c. Still have to paint the gray.

That's a nice scheme - and very plausible.

Crikey, yes that is cool. Though the grey white scheme looks great on anything..

Spent the last couple of hours putting on decals. Nearly done now. I'll leave these decals to dry and then coat with Klear to seal in. Just a few more decals to go, some touching in of paint. Should be done tomorrow.
Tired now so may have an early night.

Strictly, with this paint scheme, the Harrier tail planes should be white on top, but it looked odd so I've done them gray.

Nice one, Fred. It looks very plausible in that scheme.

Please put a couple of glamour shots in the gallery when you have a mo'.

I wonder why you can't see them.

Thanks for the nice words peeps.

Try them now.
I think I found out what happened.
I could still see them as they were in my cache. When I cleared that the images went away.
My imaging host place updated their site. When they did they must have altered something about the photos. Some of you saw the images before the changes.
I've deleted the ones I first posted and replaced the codes [which are exactly the same] with new ones and the pictures now seem to be present.
