The kestrol is back on the bench.
The new wings have engraved panel lines and they are in my mind too deep, so I'm going to fill them so they match the rest of the a/c.

I'm trying black gloss Primmer before giving it a coat of flat silver, I think black suits the kestrol/ Harrier family.

Wow that looks like it was poured and molded in one piece!
That black is so sharp I'd be tempted to keep it.
Great stuff, Splash!

Alas the black was short lived and it's now had a coat of aluminium.

As much as I liked the black scheme, I like the NMF one even more!
Looks fast as quick-silver!
Excellent paint work, Splash!
