That's looking VERY good.  :thumbsup:

And what about...?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

You've put so much effort into it that it deserves something other than a "meh" grey paint job.

So I vote either the Harrier with the colourful fin or the Japanese one.
Or...

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I really like Dizzy’s suggestion of the F-2 paint scheme, the only problem is it looks so “Japanese” and I’d like the Marauder to be British.  That being said, if I had some Japanese decals I’d seriously consider painting it like the F-2.  Right now I’m leaning toward the grey/green Harrier GR3 scheme, but considering it’s a maritime strike fighter I find the green a little out of place. 

I also really like that Japanese aggressor scheme, but I feel that splinter/hard edge schemes look too Russian.  Hmmmm…still can’t decide  :banghead:

Really impressive!  Great work.  I vote for a camouflage version for special operations work, like the very first rendering.

and the older Harrier scheme of Extra Dark Sea Gray over white?


Thorvic

The AW159 Wildcat currently sport a Medium Sea Grey/Dark Sea Grey disruptive camouflage scheme which might be suitable. Otherwise if it's 80's post 82 its overall Dark Sea Grey for the RN with Blue/Red tactical markings and black lettering or 90s onwards its Medium Sea Grey with the Pale Blue/Pink low vis roundels and white lettering.

The Avrpo artwork is probably Dark Sea grey era

Yeah, I like that.  It's grey, so maybe a little boring, but at least it's not solid grey. It's modern, British, and I have suitable decals.  Hmmm...

Well I'm on the west coast of the United States so I made it with hours to spare  :mellow:

Although like Tophe, I was a little caught off guard because I actually thought I had all of the 14th left to work on this.

Regardless I got it done and I'm pretty darn happy with it.  Like all projects is has it's flaws but this by far the hardest thing I ever scratch built and the end result looks suspiciously like a Marauder.

That's OUTSTANDING! One of the best pieces of work I've ever seen on here.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
