Harrier update!!

[Damian2]

Ok we've seen my Hawk now its time for my FV-9C Harrier!

She's nearly to the same point as the Hawk with all I've got left to do is mount the HUD and get the pilot in his office...

Yet another mantra of the true Whiffer: "Instructions? We don't need no stinkin' instructions!"

The instructions where naughty and had to be censored...

As for the paintscheme and markings, she'll be wearing a multi-grey scheme for the USMC...

You gonna try the Lego scheme?

Looks great so far, that is a really nice kit.

Maybe! Where can I find pics??

[Captain Canada]

Looking good, Damian ! I like the pre-shading idea. Really makes the paint standout afterwards.

Harriers rule !

After looking at a few pics of a certain Hornet Leigh I've decided that I'm going for the Lego scheme! Prepare for ALOT of masking but I have the week off thanks to Bronchitis (sp?)...

p.s. Dunno why some of the pcs came out huge, they're all uploaded to imageshack...weird...

[Damian2]

Hi all!

I got the pilot and HUD done today. For the pilot I tried to do him in a camo flight suit and helmet...hopefully its worked! Also the canopy had to be polished and shined to get rid of a myriad scratches and is now drying after a Future dip.
