Re: iggie's Aviating AV-8A
Decals on, and a pre-weathering coat of Clear. A few paint touch-ups to do (out-rigger u/c legs need a dash of white mainly) and a panel line wash to go this evening hopefully
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Danm the Harrier looks good in Spanish markings!

What a difference the lighter colours make. It looks brilliant.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: iggie's Aviating AV-8A
Cheers Guys! I have to say, it does look nice in the Spanish colours, and it'll add a splash of colour in the cabinet!
Anyhow, I'm calling this one done now:
Airfix Hawker Siddeley Harrier AV-8A 1:72
Halfords Acrylic primer White and Grey for main colours, with additional colours from Humbrol, Revell and Tamiya acrylics. No filler was hurt in the making of this model

Re: iggie's Aviating AV-8A ***FINISHED***
Well done it looks excellent, why is it, that it looks so much more modern and sleeker in the light grey rather than the dark grey and green?

Nice work Iggie she's come out a treat!
I may just have to invest in 2 or 3 more early Harriers now I've seen this and have experience on the FRS.1.

Cor. I say what an absolutely spiffing build.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
Re: iggie's Aviating AV-8A ***FINISHED***
I'm late chiming in, so can only echo what others have said. Looks great!
