Re: Shane's Yank Harrier.
Canopy mask arrived via diplomatic pouch after paying through numerous shell companies!
Bit of a faff , trial and error but worth a try. I think for multi pane canopies and the anything with round windows they are a must. In this instance I could have done the job with thin tape strips.
Anyhoo, pilot chappie in his seat and hud fitted. Canopy frames primed. Decals on all the dangly bits done. Hopefully mask up for the dark green over the weekend.

Re: Shane's Yank Harrier.
Cheers all, getting the decal on the Sidewinders was a nightmare. Ended up trimming the ends and sticking them down with Klear. We have a GR3 at Aeroventure so I had a nosey around it last Wednesday. I now know what it says on the stencil decals.

Re: Shane's Yank Harrier.
Finally got the green on earlier today ( during works time..ssshh) Just a couple of little touch ups. Like a kid at Christmas getting the masking off, and the pitot is still attached. Pics later.
