Hi all, This is my first WiP build here so please be gentle 😋 My first build here will be an Airfix 1/24 Harrier as the title suggests. Box art: I have also started painting the cockpit, here is the IP. My kit hasn't got the decals for the IP, so I had to use instruments from my spare decals, the larger ones are from a 1/32 Zero kit the rest are various 1/48 kits, clearly they are not the right instruments for the Harrier, but they look better than black dots IMO: More soon 👍

I do, and I will sand mine just the same when it gets that far, so far I have the cockpit, engine and fuselage together and am just moving on to the wings in a few days. The 1/24 Harrier is by Airfix, but Hobbyboss have gone further with a 1/18 Harrier 😲 I will start a WiP for my Harrier shortly.

Thank you chaps, much appreciated 👍

Very nice Angus 👍 I am building one of these and a 1/24 Harrier, switching between the two every couple of days. Looking at yours you have taken all the rivets off, that is some thing I have been toying with and will now do, as it looks better without them😃

Super work Darren😎

Very nice looking Sea King😃 I only went up in a Sea King once, it was a SAR Sea King from RAF Leconfield in about 1994, for the rest of my career if we needed a ride it was in either a Puma, Lynx or Chinook,

Nice work👍 I have one of these, so will follow with interest😃

Nice start 👍👍 I have one of these so am interested to see how it goes together. Are you going to build the wee dio base that comes with it?

Very nice build of an old Airfix kit, great result Brad 👍

Very nice Angus, must dig mine out soon😎

Superb Brad, great looking build 👍

Cheers buddy👍 Yes they still have 13 operational aircraft, of which 5 were deployed on 05 Mar 2013 to attack targets in Lahad Datu, carrying out 18 sorties against ground targets with Mk 82 bombs and CVR7 rockets.

Thank you Duncan 👍

Thanks Martin 😃 I try to use an appropriate colour for the pre-shading, if like this build the camouflage is a light colour I will use a medium grey, if the camouflage is darker I would use a dark grey or black.

Thank you Martin, but its just pre-shading and a panel wash mate. Here is a link to the build if you are interested 😃
